SUSE SLED12 Security Update : flash-player (SUSE-SU-2015:1255-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 84875

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

flash-player was updated to fix two security issues.

These security issues were fixed :

- CVE-2015-5123: Use-after-free vulnerability in the BitmapData class in the ActionScript 3 (AS3) implementation in Adobe Flash Player allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via crafted Flash content that overrides a valueOf function (bsc#937752).

- CVE-2015-5122: Use-after-free vulnerability in the DisplayObject class in the ActionScript 3 (AS3) implementation in Adobe Flash Player allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via crafted Flash content that leverages improper handling of the opaqueBackground property (bsc#937752).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
