Vulnerability
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Adobe Flash Player before 10.3.183.5 on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris, and before 10.3.186.3 on Android, as well as in Adobe AIR before 2.7.1 on Windows and Mac OS X and before 2.7.1.1961 on Android [2]. The vulnerability is triggered via unspecified vectors, as described in the official CVE entry.
Exploitation
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability remotely by convincing a user to open a malicious Flash file (e.g., via a web page or email attachment). No authentication is required, and the attack does not require any special network position beyond delivering the crafted content to the target [2].
Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected system with the privileges of the user running the vulnerable Flash Player or AIR instance. This can lead to full compromise of the user's data and system [2].
Mitigation
Adobe released updates to address this vulnerability: Flash Player 10.3.183.5 and AIR 2.7.1 (and corresponding Android versions) [2]. Red Hat also provided an update via RHSA-2011:1144 [1]. Users should apply the latest updates from Adobe or their operating system vendor as soon as possible.
