Double free vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player before 13.0.0.264 and 14.x through 16.x before 16.0.0.296 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.440 on Linux allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.

Versions of Adobe Flash player equal or prior to 16.0.0.287 are outdated and thus unpatched for the following vulnerabilities :

  - A use-after-free error exists that allows an attacker to crash the application or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0311)

  - A double-free error exists that allows an attacker to crash the application or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0312)

Versions of Adobe Flash player equal or prior to 16.0.0.305 are outdated and thus unpatched for the following vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities exist due to improper input validation. A remote attacker could exploit these to execute arbitrary code (CVE-2015-0332, CVE-2015-0333, CVE-2015-0335, CVE-2015-0339).
  - Multiple type confusion flaws exist, which an attacker could exploit to execute arbitrary code (CVE-2015-0334, CVE-2015-0336).
  - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an attacker to bypass cross-domain policy (CVE-2015-0337).
  - An integer overflow vulnerability exists due to improper input validation, which an attacker can exploit to execute arbitrary code (CVE-2015-0338).
  - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an attacker to bypass restrictions and upload arbitrary files (CVE-2015-0340).
  - Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities exist that can allow an attacker to dereference memory which has already been freed and execute arbitrary code (CVE-2015-0341, CVE-2015-0342).
  - An unspecified improper file validation issue (CVE-2015-0301).
  - An unspecified information disclosure vulnerability, which can be exploited to capture keystrokes (CVE-2015-0302).
  - Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code (CVE-2015-0303, CVE-2015-0306).
   - Multiple heap-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities that can be exploited to execute arbitrary code (CVE-2015-0304, CVE-2015-0309).
  - An unspecified type confusion vulnerability that can lead to code execution (CVE-2015-0305).
  - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability that can be exploited to leak memory addresses (CVE-2015-0307).
   - A use-after-free vulnerability that results in arbitrary code execution (CVE-2015-0308).
  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to a flaw that can allow bypassing of memory randomization mitigations, aiding in further attacks (CVE-2015-0310).
  - A use-after-free error exists that allows an attacker to crash the application or execute arbitrary code (CVE-2015-0311).
  - A double-free error exists that allows an attacker to crash the application or possibly execute arbitrary code (CVE-2015-0312).
  - Several use-after-free errors exist that allow arbitrary code execution (CVE-2015-0313, CVE-2015-0315, CVE-2015-0320, CVE-2015-0322).
  - Several memory corruption errors exist that allow arbitrary code execution (CVE-2015-0314, CVE-2015-0316, CVE-2015-0318, CVE-2015-0321, CVE-2015-0329, CVE-2015-0330).
  - Several type confusion errors exist that allow arbitrary code execution (CVE-2015-0317, CVE-2015-0319).
  - Several heap-based buffer overflow errors exist that allow arbitrary code execution (CVE-2015-0323, CVE-2015-0327).
  - A buffer overflow error exists that allows arbitrary code execution (CVE-2015-0324).
  - Several NULL pointer dereference errors exist that have unspecified impacts (CVE-2015-0325, CVE-2015-0326, CVE-2015-0328).
  - A use-after-free error exists within the processing of invalid m3u8 playlists. A remote attacker, with a specially crafted m3u8 playlist file, can force a dangling pointer to be reused after it has been freed, allowing the execution of arbitrary code (CVE-2015-0331).

The remote host is missing KB3035034. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A use-after-free error exists that allows an attacker to     crash the application or execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2015-0311)

  - A double-free error exists that allows an attacker to     crash the application or execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2015-0312)

An updated Adobe Flash Player package that fixes multiple security issues is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 Supplementary.

Red Hat Product Security 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 APSB15-02, and APSB15-03, 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-2015-0310, CVE-2015-0311, CVE-2015-0312)

All users of Adobe Flash Player should install this updated package, which upgrades Flash Player to version 11.2.202.440.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 40.0.2214.93. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A use-after-free error exists that allows an attacker to     crash the application or execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2015-0311)

  - A double-free error exists that allows an attacker to     crash the application or possibly execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2015-0312)

    (CVE-2015-0311)

  - A double-free error exists that allows an attacker to     crash the application or possibly execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2015-0312)

According to its version, the Adobe Flash Player installed on the remote Mac OS X host is equal or prior to 16.0.0.287. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :
