The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:1731 advisory.

    The flash-plugin package contains a Mozilla Firefox compatible Adobe Flash Player web browser plug-in.

    This update upgrades Flash Player to version 26.0.0.137.

    Security Fix(es):

    * This update fixes multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player. These vulnerabilities, detailed in the     Adobe Security Bulletin listed in the References section, could allow an attacker to create a specially     crafted SWF file that would cause flash-plugin to crash, execute arbitrary code, or disclose sensitive     information when the victim loaded a page containing the malicious SWF content. (CVE-2017-3080,     CVE-2017-3099, CVE-2017-3100)

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.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201707-15 (Adobe Flash Player: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

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

  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Adobe reports :

- These updates resolve security bypass vulnerability that could lead to information disclosure (CVE-2017-3080).

- These updates resolve memory corruption vulnerability that could lead to remote code execution (CVE-2017-3099).

- These updates resolve memory corruption vulnerability that could lead to memory address disclosure (CVE-2017-3100).

The version of Adobe Flash Player installed on the remote Windows host is equal or prior to version 26.0.0.131. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to an     unspecified flaw. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a     website containing specially crafted Flash content, to     disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-3080)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists due to     improper validation of user-supplied input. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by     convincing a user to visit a website containing     specially crafted Flash content, to execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2017-3099)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists that     allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to corrupt     memory and disclose memory addresses. (CVE-2017-3100)

The version of Adobe Flash Player installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is equal or prior to version 26.0.0.131. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to an     unspecified flaw. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a     website containing specially crafted Flash content, to     disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-3080)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists due to     improper validation of user-supplied input. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by     convincing a user to visit a website containing     specially crafted Flash content, to execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2017-3099)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists that     allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to corrupt     memory and disclose memory addresses. (CVE-2017-3100)

The remote Windows host is missing security update KB4025376. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to an     unspecified flaw. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a     website containing specially crafted Flash content, to     disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-3080)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists due to     improper validation of user-supplied input. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by     convincing a user to visit a website containing     specially crafted Flash content, to execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2017-3099)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists that     allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to corrupt     memory and disclose memory addresses. (CVE-2017-3100)

Versions of Adobe Flash Player prior to 26.0.0.137 are unpatched, and therefore affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to an unspecified flaw. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a website containing specially crafted Flash content, to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-3080)
 - A remote code execution vulnerability exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a website containing specially crafted Flash content, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-3099)
 - An information disclosure vulnerability exists that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to corrupt memory and disclose memory addresses. (CVE-2017-3100)
