The remote Windows host is missing KB3209498. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple use-after-free errors exist that allow an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2016-7872, CVE-2016-7877, CVE-2016-7878,     CVE-2016-7879, CVE-2016-7880, CVE-2016-7881,     CVE-2016-7892)

  - Multiple buffer overflow conditions exist that allow an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2016-7867, CVE-2016-7868, CVE-2016-7869,     CVE-2016-7870)

  - Multiple memory corruption issues exist that allow an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2016-7871, CVE-2016-7873, CVE-2016-7874,     CVE-2016-7875, CVE-2016-7876)

  - An unspecified security bypass vulnerability exists.
    (CVE-2016-7890)

Security Fix(es) :

* This update fixes multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player.
These vulnerabilities, detailed in the Adobe Security Bulletin listed in the References section, could allow an attacker to create a specially crafted SWF file that would cause flash-plugin to crash, execute arbitrary code, or disclose sensitive information when the victim loaded a page containing the malicious SWF content.
(CVE-2016-7867, CVE-2016-7868, CVE-2016-7869, CVE-2016-7870, CVE-2016-7871, CVE-2016-7872, CVE-2016-7873, CVE-2016-7874, CVE-2016-7875, CVE-2016-7876, CVE-2016-7877, CVE-2016-7878, CVE-2016-7879, CVE-2016-7880, CVE-2016-7881, CVE-2016-7890, CVE-2016-7892)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - flash-plugin: multiple code execution issues fixed in APSB17-07 (CVE-2017-3003)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player 11.1.102.55 on Windows and Mac OS X allows remote     attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted SWF file, as demonstrated by the first of two     vulnerabilities exploited by the Intevydis vd_adobe_fp module in VulnDisco Step Ahead (SA). NOTE: as of     20111207, this disclosure has no actionable information. However, because the module author is a reliable     researcher, the issue is being assigned a CVE identifier for tracking purposes. (CVE-2011-4693)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player 11.1.102.55 on Windows and Mac OS X allows remote     attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted SWF file, as demonstrated by the second of two     vulnerabilities exploited by the Intevydis vd_adobe_fp module in VulnDisco Step Ahead (SA). NOTE: as of     20111207, this disclosure has no actionable information. However, because the module author is a reliable     researcher, the issue is being assigned a CVE identifier for tracking purposes. (CVE-2011-4694)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

Versions of Adobe Flash Player prior to 24.0.0.186 are unpatched, and therefore affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - An overflow condition exists that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a buffer overflow, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-7867, CVE-2016-7868, CVE-2016-7869, CVE-2016-7870)
 - 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-2016-7871, CVE-2016-7873, CVE-2016-7874, CVE-2016-7875, CVE-2016-7876)
 - An unspecified 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-2016-7872, CVE-2016-7877, CVE-2016-7878, CVE-2016-7879, CVE-2016-7880, CVE-2016-7881, CVE-2016-7892)
 - An unspecified flaw exists that may allow a context-dependent attacker to bypass security mechanisms. No further details have been provided. (CVE-2016-7890)
