Flash Player < 25.0.0.148 Multiple RCE (APSB17-10)

critical Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 700058

Synopsis

The remote host is running an outdated version of Adobe Flash Player that is affected by multiple Remote Code Execution (RCE) attack vectors.

Description

Versions of Adobe Flash Player prior to 25.0.0.148 are unpatched, and therefore affected by the following RCE vulnerabilities :

- A use-after-free error exists that is triggered when handling specially crafted 'ByteArray' objects. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-3058, CVE-2017-3059)
- A flaw exists that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated when parsing specially crafted SWF content. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-3060)
- A use-after-free error exists that may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. No further details have been provided. (CVE-2017-3061, CVE-2017-3062, CVE-2017-3063)
- A flaw exists that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. No further details have been provided. (CVE-2017-3064)

Solution

Upgrade to Adobe Flash Player version 25.0.0.148 or later.
