This update of flash-player fixes multiple (unspecified) buffer overflows, memory corruptions and other security-related issues.

Flash Player was updated to 11.2.202.251 (bnc#788450), fixing severe security issues :

  - CVE-2012-5274, CVE-2012-5275, CVE-2012-5276,     CVE-2012-5277, CVE-2012-5278, CVE-2012-5279,     CVE-2012-5280

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 / 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2012:1431 advisory.

  - flash-plugin: multiple code-execution flaws (APSB12-24) (CVE-2012-5274, CVE-2012-5275, CVE-2012-5276,     CVE-2012-5277, CVE-2012-5278, CVE-2012-5279, CVE-2012-5280)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to its version, the instance of Flash Player installed on the remote Windows host is 11.x equal to or earlier than 11.4.402.287, or 10.x equal to or earlier than 10.3.183.29.  It is, therefore, potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Several unspecified issues exist that can lead to buffer     overflows and arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2012-5274,     CVE-2012-5275, CVE-2012-5276, CVE-2012-5277,     CVE-2012-5280)

  - An unspecified security bypass issue exists that can     lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2012-5278)

  - An unspecified issue exists that can lead to memory     corruption and arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2012-5279)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201309-06 (Adobe Flash Player: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities have been discovered in Adobe Flash       Player. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open specially crafted SWF       content, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition. Furthermore,       a remote attacker may be able to bypass access restrictions.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

According to its version, the instance of Adobe AIR on the remote Windows host is 3.4.0.2710 or earlier.  It is, therefore, reportedly affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Several unspecified issues exist that can lead to buffer     overflows and arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2012-5274,     CVE-2012-5275, CVE-2012-5276, CVE-2012-5277,     CVE-2012-5280)

  - An unspecified security bypass issue exists that can     lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2012-5278)

  - An unspecified issue exists that can lead to memory     corruption and arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2012-5279)

According to its version, the instance of Adobe AIR on the remote Mac OS X host is 3.4.0.2710 or earlier.  It is, therefore, reportedly affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified security bypass issue exists that can     lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2012-5278)

  - An unspecified issue exists that can lead to memory     corruption and arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2012-5279)

According to its version, the instance of Flash Player installed on the remote Mac OS X host is 11.x equal to or earlier than 11.4.402.287, or 10.x equal to or earlier than 10.3.183.29.  It is, therefore, potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Several unspecified issues exist that can lead to buffer     overflows and arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2012-5274,     CVE-2012-5275, CVE-2012-5276, CVE-2012-5277,     CVE-2012-5280)

  - An unspecified security bypass issue exists that can     lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2012-5278)

  - An unspecified issue exists that can lead to memory     corruption and arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2012-5279)

Adobe reports :

These vulnerabilities could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.

The remote host has Adobe Flash Player installed.
