Impact
System access

This covers vulnerabilities where malicious people are able to gain system access and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a local user.


Exposure of sensitive information

Vulnerabilities where documents or credentials are leaked or can be revealed either locally or from remote.


Security Bypass

This covers vulnerabilities or security issues where malicious users or people can bypass certain security mechanisms of the application.

The actual impact varies significantly depending on the design and purpose of the affected application.


Description

Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Adobe Flash Player, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass security features, gain knowledge of sensitive information, or compromise a user's system.

1) An unspecified error can be exploited to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code via specially crafted SWF content.

2) The control has been built using a vulnerable version of ATL, which may be exploited to disclose memory content, bypass security features like kill-bits, and corrupt memory to execute arbitrary code when used in Internet Explorer.

For more information:
SA35967

3) An unspecified error can be exploited to gain escalated privileges.

4) A use-after-free error when parsing Shockwave Flash files may cause references to remain pointing to a deleted object, which can be exploited to corrupt memory.

5) An unspecified error may lead to a "null pointer vulnerability".

6) An unspecified error may lead to a "stack overflow vulnerability".

7) A click-jacking error can be exploited to trick a user into unknowingly click a link or dialog.

8) An error in the parsing of URLs can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.

9) An integer overflow error in the AVM2 abcFile parser when handling the "intrf_count" value of the "instance_info" structure can be exploited to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code.

10) An error in the local sandbox can be exploited to gain knowledge of sensitive information when a SWF is saved to the hard drive.
