Unspecified vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player before 11.3.300.271 on Windows and Mac OS X and before 11.2.202.238 on Linux allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via crafted SWF content, as exploited in the wild in August 2012 with SWF content in a Word document.

Adobe Flash Player was updated to 11.2.202.238 fixing various bugs and security issues.

The version of HP Systems Insight Manager installed on the remote Windows host is affected by vulnerabilities in the included Flash components.

This update of flash-player fixes a security issue that could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code remotely. (CVE-2012-1535)

An updated Adobe Flash Player package that fixes several security issues is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Supplementary.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having critical security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

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

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player. These vulnerabilities are detailed on the Adobe security pages APSB12-18 and APSB12-19, listed in the References section. Specially crafted SWF content could cause flash-plugin to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when a victim loads a page containing the malicious SWF content. (CVE-2012-1535, CVE-2012-4163, CVE-2012-4164, CVE-2012-4165, CVE-2012-4166, CVE-2012-4167)

A flaw in flash-plugin could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information if a victim were tricked into visiting a specially crafted web page. (CVE-2012-4168)

Note: This erratum upgrades Adobe Flash Player from version 10.3.183.20 to version 11.2.202.238.

    (CVE-2012-1535)

  - Multiple memory corruption errors exist that     could lead to code execution. (CVE-2012-4163,     CVE-2012-4164, CVE-2012-4165)

  - An integer overflow error exists that could     lead to code execution. (CVE-2012-4167)

  - A cross-domain information leak error exists.
    (CVE-2012-4168)

  - An integer overflow error related to the 'Matrix3D'     class exists. (CVE-2012-5054)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201209-01 (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 obtain sensitive information.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

An updated Adobe Flash Player package that fixes one security issue is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Supplementary.
