Use-after-free vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player before 13.0.0.259 and 14.x through 16.x before 16.0.0.235 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.425 on Linux allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.

Versions of Adobe Flash player equal or prior to 15.0.0.242 are outdated and thus unpatched for the following vulnerabilities :

  - A security bypass vulnerability that allows an attacker to bypass the same-origin policy (CVE-2014-0580).
  - Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities that allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code (CVE-2014-0587, CVE-2014-9164).
  - A use-after-free vulnerability that can result in arbitrary code execution (CVE-2014-8443).
  - An unspecified information disclosure vulnerability (CVE-2014-9162).
  - A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability that can be exploited to execute arbitrary code or elevate privileges (CVE-2014-9163).

Versions of Flash player earlier than 16.0.0.235 are unpatched for the following vulnerabilities:

  - A security bypass vulnerability that allows an attacker to bypass the same-origin policy. (CVE-2014-0580)

  - Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities that allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-0587, CVE-2014-9164)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability that can result in arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-8443)

  - An unspecified information disclosure vulnerability. (CVE-2014-9162)

  - A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability that can be exploited to execute arbitrary code or elevate privileges. (CVE-2014-9163)

This flash-player security update fixes the following issues :

  - Security update to 11.2.202.425 (bnc#909219) :

  - APSB14-27, (CVE-2014-0580 / CVE-2014-0587 /     CVE-2014-8443 / CVE-2014-9162 / CVE-2014-9163 /     CVE-2014-9164)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2014:1981 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 in the Adobe Security Bulletin APSB14-27,     listed in the References section.

    Multiple 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 malicious SWF     content. (CVE-2014-0587, CVE-2014-8443, CVE-2014-9163, CVE-2014-9164)

    A flaw in flash-plugin could allow an attacker to bypass the same-origin     policy. (CVE-2014-0580)

    This update fixes an information disclosure flaw in flash-plugin.
    (CVE-2014-9162)

    All users of Adobe Flash Player should install this updated package, which     upgrades Flash Player to version 11.2.202.425.

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.

flash-player received a security update to version to 11.2.202.425 (bsc#909219), which fixes: APSB14-27, CVE-2014-0580, CVE-2014-0587, CVE-2014-8443, CVE-2014-9162, CVE-2014-9163, CVE-2014-9164

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201412-07 (Adobe Flash Player: Multiple vulnerabilities)

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

    A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process or bypass security restrictions.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote host is missing KB3008925. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A security bypass vulnerability that allows an attacker     to bypass the same-origin policy. (CVE-2014-0580)

  - Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities that allow an     attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-0587,     CVE-2014-9164)
