Adobe AIR < 21.0.0.176 Multiple Vulnerabilities (APSB16-08)

critical Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 9177

Synopsis

The remote host is running an outdated version of Adobe AIR that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

Versions of Adobe AIR prior to 21.0.0.176 are outdated and thus unpatched for the following vulnerabilities :

 - A flaw exists that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0960, CVE-2016-0961, CVE-2016-0962, CVE-2016-0986, CVE-2016-0989, CVE-2016-0992)
 - An integer overflow condition exists that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. This may potentially allow a context-dependent attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0963, CVE-2016-0993, CVE-2016-1010)
 - A flaw exists that contains a use-after-free error and is triggered when handling the 'Sound.setTransform()' method. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0987)
 - A flaw exists that contains a use-after-free error that is triggered when handling the 'setInterval()' method. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0988)
 - A flaw exists and contains a use-after-free error that may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0990, CVE-2016-0991)
 - A flaw exists that contains a use-after-free error that is triggered when manipulating arguments passed to the 'actionCallMethod' opcode. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0994)
 - A flaw exists that contains a use-after-free error that may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0995)
 - A flaw exists that contains a use-after-free error in the 'setInterval()' method that may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0996)
 - A flaw exists that contains a use-after-free error that is triggered when handling the 'MovieClip.swapDepths()' method. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0997)
 - A flaw exists that contains a use-after-free error that is triggered when handling the 'Object.unwatch()' method. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0998)
 - A flaw exists that contains a use-after-free error that is triggered when handling the 'AsBroadcaster.broadcastMessage()' method. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0999)
 - A flaw exists that contains a use-after-free error that is triggered when creating sprites. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1000)
 - A flaw exists that contains an overflow condition in the 'zlib codecs' that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a heap-based buffer overflow and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1001)
 - A flaw exists that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when handling shape rendering. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1002)
 - A flaw exists that is triggered when handling a specially crafted MP4 file. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference an uninitialized pointer and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1005)

Solution

Upgrade to Adobe AIR 21.0.0.176 or later.
