Critical Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 700427
Synopsis
The remote host is running an outdated version of Adobe Flash Player that is affected by multiple attack vectors.
Description
Versions of Adobe Flash Player prior to 27.0.0.187 are unpatched, and therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- An invalid (out-of-range) pointer vulnerability exists offset during access of internal data structure fields. A successful attack can lead to sensitive data exposure. (CVE-2017-3112, CVE-2017-3114, CVE-2017-11213)
- The mismatch between an old and a new object can provide an attacker with unintended memory access potentially leading to code corruption, control-flow hijack, or an information leak attack. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2017-11215, CVE-2017-11225)
Solution
Upgrade to Adobe Flash Player version 27.0.0.187 or later.
