The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200903-23 (Adobe Flash Player: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Adobe Flash Player:
    The access scope of SystemsetClipboard() allows ActionScript     programs to execute the method without user interaction     (CVE-2008-3873).
    The access scope of FileReference.browse() and     FileReference.download() allows ActionScript programs to execute the     methods without user interaction (CVE-2008-4401).
    The Settings Manager controls can be disguised as normal graphical     elements. This so-called 'clickjacking' vulnerability was disclosed by     Robert Hansen of SecTheory, Jeremiah Grossman of WhiteHat Security,     Eduardo Vela, Matthew Mastracci of DotSpots, and Liu Die Yu of     TopsecTianRongXin (CVE-2008-4503).
    Adan Barth (UC Berkely) and Collin Jackson (Stanford University)     discovered a flaw occurring when interpreting HTTP response headers     (CVE-2008-4818).
    Nathan McFeters and Rob Carter of Ernst and Young's Advanced     Security Center are credited for finding an unspecified vulnerability     facilitating DNS rebinding attacks (CVE-2008-4819).
    When used in a Mozilla browser, Adobe Flash Player does not     properly interpret jar: URLs, according to a report by Gregory     Fleischer of pseudo-flaw.net (CVE-2008-4821).
    Alex 'kuza55' K. reported that Adobe Flash Player does not properly     interpret policy files (CVE-2008-4822).
    The vendor credits Stefano Di Paola of Minded Security for     reporting that an ActionScript attribute is not interpreted properly     (CVE-2008-4823).
    Riley Hassell and Josh Zelonis of iSEC Partners reported multiple     input validation errors (CVE-2008-4824).
    The aforementioned researchers also reported that ActionScript 2     does not verify a member element's size when performing several known     and other unspecified actions, that DefineConstantPool accepts an     untrusted input value for a 'constant count' and that character     elements are not validated when retrieved from a data structure,     possibly resulting in a NULL pointer dereference (CVE-2008-5361,     CVE-2008-5362, CVE-2008-5363).
    The vendor reported an unspecified arbitrary code execution     vulnerability (CVE-2008-5499).
    Liu Die Yu of TopsecTianRongXin reported an unspecified flaw in the     Settings Manager related to 'clickjacking' (CVE-2009-0114).
    The vendor credits Roee Hay from IBM Rational Application Security     for reporting an input validation error when processing SWF files     (CVE-2009-0519).
    Javier Vicente Vallejo reported via the iDefense VCP that Adobe     Flash does not remove object references properly, leading to a freed     memory dereference (CVE-2009-0520).
    Josh Bressers of Red Hat and Tavis Ormandy of the Google Security     Team reported an untrusted search path vulnerability     (CVE-2009-0521).
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted SWF     file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the     privileges of the user or a Denial of Service (crash). Furthermore a     remote attacker could gain access to sensitive information, disclose     memory contents by enticing a user to open a specially crafted PDF file     inside a Flash application, modify the victim's clipboard or render it     temporarily unusable, persuade a user into uploading or downloading     files, bypass security restrictions with the assistance of the user to     gain access to camera and microphone, conduct Cross-Site Scripting and     HTTP Header Splitting attacks, bypass the 'non-root domain policy' of     Flash, and gain escalated privileges.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

According to its version number, an instance of Flash Player on the remote Windows host is 9.0.124.0 or earlier.  Such versions are potentially affected by several vulnerabilities :

  - A potential port-scanning issue. (CVE-2007-4324)

  - Possible privilege escalation attacks against web     servers hosting Flash content and cross-domain policy     files.  (CVE-2007-6243)

  - Potential Clipboard attacks. (CVE-2008-3873)

  - FileReference upload and download APIs that don't     require user interaction. (CVE-2008-4401)

  - A 'Clickjacking' issue that could be abused by an     attacker to lure a web browser user into unknowingly     clicking on a link or dialog. (CVE-2008-4503)

  - A potential cross-site scripting vulnerability.     (CVE-2008-4818)

  - A potential issue that could be leveraged in to conduct     a DNS rebinding attack. (CVE-2008-4819)

  - An information disclosure issue affecting only the     ActiveX control. (CVE-2008-4820)

  - An information disclosure issue involving interpretation     of the 'jar:' protocol and affecting only the plugin for     Mozilla browsers. (CVE-2008-4821)

  - An issue with policy file interpretation could     potentially lead to bypass of a non-root domain policy.     (CVE-2008-4822)

  - A potential HTML injection issue involving an     ActionScript attribute. (CVE-2008-4823)

  - Multiple input validation errors could potentially lead     to execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2008-4824)

An updated Adobe Flash Player package that fixes several security issues is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4 Extras.

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

[Updated 18th November 2008] This erratum has been updated to include a reference to the additional CVE-named issue that was not public at the time of release. The security impact of the erratum has also been upgraded to Critical. No changes have been made to the packages.

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

A flaw was found in the way Adobe Flash Player wrote content to the clipboard. A malicious SWF (Shockwave Flash) file could populate the clipboard with a URL that could cause the user to accidentally or mistakenly load an attacker-controlled URL. (CVE-2008-3873)

A flaw was found with Adobe's ActionScript scripting language which allowed Flash scripts to initiate file uploads and downloads without user interaction. ActionScript's FileReference.browse and FileReference.download method calls can now only be initiated via user interaction, such as through mouse-clicks or key-presses on the keyboard. (CVE-2008-4401)

A flaw was found in Adobe Flash Player's display of Settings Manager content. A malicious SWF file could trick the user into unintentionally or mistakenly clicking a link or a dialog which could then give the malicious SWF file permission to access the local machine's camera or microphone. (CVE-2008-4503)

Flaws were found in the way Flash Player restricted the interpretation and usage of cross-domain policy files. A remote attacker could use Flash Player to conduct cross-domain and cross-site scripting attacks (CVE-2007-4324, CVE-2007-6243). This update provides enhanced fixes for these issues.

Flash Player contains a flaw in the way it interprets HTTP response headers. An attacker could use this flaw to conduct a cross-site scripting attack against the user running Flash Player.
(CVE-2008-4818)

A flaw was found in the way Flash Player handles the ActionScript attribute. A malicious site could use this flaw to inject arbitrary HTML content, confusing the user running the browser. (CVE-2008-4823)
