Flash Player < 27.0.0.170 RCE (APSB17-32)

high Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 700426

Synopsis

The remote host is running an outdated version of Adobe Flash Player that is affected by a remote code execution (RCE) attack vector.

Description

Versions of Adobe Flash Player prior to 27.0.0.170 are unpatched and therefore affected by an unspecified type confusion flaw that is caused by input not being properly validated. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a website containing specially crafted Flash content, to trigger the vulnerability and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade to Adobe Flash Player version 27.0.0.170 or later.
