Adobe Flash Player before 10.3.183.5 on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris and before 10.3.186.3 on Android, and Adobe AIR before 2.7.1 on Windows and Mac OS X and before 2.7.1.1961 on Android, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted SWF file, as demonstrated by "about 400 unique crash signatures."

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201201-19 (Adobe Reader: Multiple vulnerabilities)

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

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PDF       file using Adobe Reader, possibly resulting in the remote execution of       arbitrary code, a Denial of Service, or other impact.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2011:1434 advisory.

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

    This update fixes multiple security flaws in Adobe Reader. These flaws are     detailed on the Adobe security page APSB11-24, 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-2011-2431, CVE-2011-2432, CVE-2011-2433, CVE-2011-2434,     CVE-2011-2435, CVE-2011-2436, CVE-2011-2437, CVE-2011-2438, CVE-2011-2439,     CVE-2011-2440, CVE-2011-2442)

    This update also fixes multiple security flaws in Adobe Flash Player     embedded in Adobe Reader. These flaws are detailed on the Adobe security     pages APSB11-21 and APSB11-26, listed in the References section.

    A PDF file with an embedded, specially-crafted SWF file could cause Adobe     Reader to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running     Adobe Reader when opened. (CVE-2011-2130, CVE-2011-2134, CVE-2011-2135,     CVE-2011-2136, CVE-2011-2137, CVE-2011-2138, CVE-2011-2139, CVE-2011-2140,     CVE-2011-2414, CVE-2011-2415, CVE-2011-2416, CVE-2011-2417, CVE-2011-2424,     CVE-2011-2425, CVE-2011-2426, CVE-2011-2427, CVE-2011-2428, CVE-2011-2430)

    A flaw in Adobe Flash Player could allow an attacker to conduct cross-site     scripting (XSS) attacks if a victim were tricked into visiting a     specially-crafted web page. (CVE-2011-2444)

    This update also fixes an information disclosure flaw in Adobe Flash     Player. (CVE-2011-2429)

    All Adobe Reader users should install these updated packages. They contain     Adobe Reader version 9.4.6, 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.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201110-11 (Adobe Flash Player: Multiple vulnerabilities)

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

    By enticing a user to open a specially crafted SWF file a remote       attacker could cause a Denial of Service or the execution of arbitrary       code with the privileges of the user running the application.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 10.1.1, 9.4.6, or 8.3.1. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2011:1144 advisory.

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

    This update fixes multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player. These     vulnerabilities are detailed on the Adobe security page APSB11-21, listed     in the References section.

    Multiple security flaws were found in the way flash-plugin displayed     certain SWF content. An attacker could use these flaws to create a     specially-crafted SWF file that would cause flash-plugin to crash or,     potentially, execute arbitrary code when the victim loaded a page     containing the specially-crafted SWF content. (CVE-2011-2130,     CVE-2011-2134, CVE-2011-2135, CVE-2011-2136, CVE-2011-2137, CVE-2011-2138,     CVE-2011-2139, CVE-2011-2140, CVE-2011-2414, CVE-2011-2415, CVE-2011-2416,     CVE-2011-2417, CVE-2011-2425)

    All users of Adobe Flash Player should install this updated package, which     upgrades Flash Player to version 10.3.183.5.

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.

The remote host has Adobe Flash Player installed. Versions of Flash Player earlier than 10.3.183.5 are potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities : 

  - Multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities could lead to code execution. (CVE-2011-2130, CVE-2011-2134, CVE-2011-2137, CVE-2011-2414, CVE-2011-2415)
  - Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities could lead to code execution. (CVE-2011-2135, CVE-2011-2140, CVE-2011-2417, CVE-2011-2424, CVE-2011-2425)
  - Multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities could lead to code execution. (CVE-2011-2136, CVE-2011-2138, CVE-2011-2416)
  - A cross-site information disclosure vulnerability exists that could lead to code execution. (CVE-2011-2139)

According to its version, the instance of Flash Player installed on the remote Mac OS X host is 10.3.181.36 or earlier.  As such, it is reportedly affected by several critical vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities could lead to     code execution. (CVE-2011-2130, CVE-2011-2134,     CVE-2011-2137, CVE-2011-2414, CVE-2011-2415)

  - Multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities could lead to     code execution. (CVE-2011-2136, CVE-2011-2138,     CVE-2011-2416)

  - A cross-site information disclosure vulnerability     exists that could lead to code execution.     (CVE-2011-2139)

By tricking a user on the affected system into opening a specially crafted document with Flash content, an attacker could leverage these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code remotely on the system subject to the user's privileges.
