Adobe Flash Player 10.1.82.76 and earlier on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris and 10.1.92.10 on Android; authplay.dll in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.4; and authplay.dll in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 8.x before 8.2.5 on Windows and Mac OS X allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via unspecified vectors, as exploited in the wild in September 2010.

Flash Player was updated to version 10.1.85.3 to fix a critical security issue (CVE-2010-2884).

Specially crafted PDF documents could crash acroread or lead to execution of arbitrary code (CVE-2010-2883, CVE-2010-2884, CVE-2010-2887, CVE-2010-2889, CVE-2010-2890, CVE-2010-3619, CVE-2010-3620, CVE-2010-3621, CVE-2010-3622, CVE-2010-3623, CVE-2010-3624, CVE-2010-3625, CVE-2010-3626, CVE-2010-3627, CVE-2010-3628, CVE-2010-3629, CVE-2010-3630, CVE-2010-3631, CVE-2010-3632, CVE-2010-3656, CVE-2010-3657, CVE-2010-3658).

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2010:0743 advisory.

    Adobe Reader allows users to view and print documents in Portable Document     Format (PDF).

    This update fixes multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader. These     vulnerabilities are detailed on the Adobe security page APSB10-21, listed     in the References section.

    A specially-crafted PDF file could cause Adobe Reader to crash or,     potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running Adobe Reader when     opened. (CVE-2010-2883, CVE-2010-2884, CVE-2010-2889, CVE-2010-2890,     CVE-2010-3619, CVE-2010-3620, CVE-2010-3621, CVE-2010-3622, CVE-2010-3625,     CVE-2010-3626, CVE-2010-3627, CVE-2010-3628, CVE-2010-3629, CVE-2010-3630,     CVE-2010-3632, CVE-2010-3658)

    An insecure relative RPATH (runtime library search path) set in some Adobe     Reader libraries could allow a local attacker, who is able to convince     another user to run Adobe Reader in an attacker-controlled directory, to     execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the victim. (CVE-2010-2887)

    A specially-crafted PDF file could cause Adobe Reader to crash when opened.
    (CVE-2010-3656, CVE-2010-3657)

    All Adobe Reader users should install these updated packages. They contain     Adobe Reader version 9.4, which is not vulnerable to these issues. All     running instances of Adobe Reader must be restarted for the update to take     effect.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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

Adobe Product Security Incident Response Team reports :

A critical vulnerability exists in Adobe Flash Player 10.1.82.76 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Solaris, and Adobe Flash Player 10.1.92.10 for Android. This vulnerability also affects Adobe Reader 9.3.4 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh and UNIX, and Adobe Acrobat 9.3.4 and earlier versions for Windows and Macintosh. This vulnerability (CVE-2010-2884) could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.
There are reports that this vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild against Adobe Flash Player on Windows. Adobe is not aware of any attacks exploiting this vulnerability against Adobe Reader or Acrobat to date.

An updated Adobe Flash Player package that fixes one security issue is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4 Extras, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Supplementary.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having critical security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.

The flash-plugin package contains a Mozilla Firefox compatible Adobe Flash Player web browser plug-in.

This update fixes one vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player. This vulnerability is detailed on the Adobe security page APSB10-22, listed in the References section. If a victim loaded a page containing specially crafted SWF content, it could cause flash-plugin to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-2884)

All users of Adobe Flash Player should install this updated package, which upgrades Flash Player to version 10.1.85.3 for users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Supplementary, and version 9.0.283 for users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4 Extras.

The remote Windows host contains a version of Adobe Flash Player 9.x before 9.0.283 or 10.x earlier than 10.1.85.3.  Such versions are potentially affected by an unspecified code execution vulnerability. 

Note that there are reports this is being actively exploited in the wild.

Versions of Flash Player 9.x earlier than 9.0.283 and 10.x earlier than 10.1.85.3 are potentially affected by an unspecified code execution vulnerability.

The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote host is earlier than 9.4 / 8.2.5.  Such versions are affected by multiple code execution vulnerabilities.

Note that there have been reports that one or more of these issues are being actively exploited in the wild.

The version of Adobe Acrobat installed on the remote host is earlier than 9.4 / 8.2.5.  Such versions are affected by multiple code execution vulnerabilities.

Note that there have been reports that one or more of these issues are being actively exploited in the wild.
