Adobe Flash Player before 11.7.700.260 and 11.8.x and 11.9.x before 12.0.0.38 on Windows and Mac OS X and before 11.2.202.335 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 4.0.0.1390, Adobe AIR SDK before 4.0.0.1390, and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 4.0.0.1390 allow attackers to defeat the ASLR protection mechanism by leveraging an "address leak."

2 vulnerabilities were discovered for the flash-player packages in openSUSE versions 12.3 and 13.1.

Versions of Adobe AIR earlier than 4.0.0.1390 are unpatched for the following vulnerabilities :

   - A flaw exists when requesting sites using 'jar:' URIs that enables a context-dependent attacker to bypass 'AllowScriptAccess=never' security protection mechanisms. No further details have been provided by the vendor. (CVE-2014-0491)
 - A flaw exists in the ActionScript Virtual Machine. The issue is due to the AVM not properly sanitizing values before jumping to them. An attacker can use this issue to leak addresses from 'Flash.ocx' within the current process, making exploitation of issues considerably easier. (CVE-2014-0492)

Versions of Flash equal or earlier than 11.9.900.170 are potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities:

   - An unspecified vulnerability exists that can be used to bypass Flash Player security protections. (CVE-2014-0491)

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists that can be used to bypass memory address layout randomization. (CVE-2014-0492)

Versions of Adobe Flash Player equal or prior to 11.9.900.170 (or 11.2.202.332 for Linux) are outdated and thus unpatched for the following vulnerabilities :

   - An unspecified vulnerability exists that can be used to bypass Flash Player security protections (CVE-2014-0491).
  - An unspecified vulnerability exists that can be used to bypass memory address layout randomization (ASLR) (CVE-2014-0492).

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201402-06 (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 a specially crafted SWF       file using Adobe Flash Player, possibly resulting in execution of       arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service       condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Adobe reports :

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

  - flash-player: security protection bypass     (bnc#858822)(APSB14-02)

  - These updates resolve a vulnerability that could be used     to bypass Flash Player security protections.
    (CVE-2014-0491)

  - These updates resolve an address leak vulnerability that     could be used to defeat memory address layout     randomization. (CVE-2014-0492)

An updated Adobe Flash Player package that fixes two security issues is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 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 multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player.
These vulnerabilities are detailed in the Adobe Security bulletin APSB14-02, 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-2014-0491, CVE-2014-0492)

All users of Adobe Flash Player should install this updated package, which upgrades Flash Player to version 11.2.202.335.

According to its version, the instance of Flash Player installed on the remote Mac OS X host is equal or prior to 11.7.700.257 / 11.8.x or 11.9.x equal or prior to 11.9.900.170.  It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists that can be used to     bypass Flash Player security protections.
    (CVE-2014-0491)

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists that can be used to     bypass memory address layout randomization.
    (CVE-2014-0492)

According to its version, the instance of Adobe AIR on the remote Mac OS X host is 3.9.0.1380 or earlier.  It is, therefore, reportedly affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists that can be used to     bypass Flash Player security protections.
    (CVE-2014-0491)

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists that can be used to     bypass memory address layout randomization.
    (CVE-2014-0492)

According to its version, the instance of Flash Player installed on the remote Windows host is equal or prior to 11.7.700.257 / 11.8.x or 11.9.900.170.  It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists that can be used to     bypass Flash Player security protections.
    (CVE-2014-0491)

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists that can be used to     bypass memory address layout randomization.
    (CVE-2014-0492)

According to its version, the instance of Adobe AIR on the remote Windows host is 3.9.0.1380 or earlier.  It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists that can be used to     bypass Flash Player security protections.
    (CVE-2014-0491)

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists that can be used to     bypass memory address layout randomization.
    (CVE-2014-0492)

The remote host is missing KB2916626.  It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities related to the installed version of the Adobe Flash ActiveX control :

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists that can be used to     bypass Flash Player security protections.
    (CVE-2014-0491)

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists that can be used to     bypass memory address layout randomization.
