Adobe Flash Player and AIR suffer from memory corruption allowing arbitrary code execution or denial of service via unspecified vectors.
Vulnerability
A memory corruption 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 [1][2]. The flaw can be triggered via unspecified vectors, leading to arbitrary code execution or denial of service [1][2].
Exploitation
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to view a specially crafted Flash content or visit a malicious website [2]. No additional authentication or access is required beyond user interaction to load the malicious content [2].
Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected system or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) [1][2]. The attacker can gain the same privileges as the user running the Flash Player or AIR application [2].
Mitigation
Adobe released security updates in APSB11-21 [2]. Affected users should upgrade to Flash Player 10.3.183.5 or later (10.3.186.3 on Android) and AIR 2.7.1 or later (2.7.1.1961 on Android) [1][2]. Red Hat also published RHSA-2011-1144 for affected Linux distributions [1].
