CVE-2011-4694

Vulnerability

Adobe Flash Player version 11.1.102.55 on Windows and Mac OS X contains an unspecified vulnerability that allows remote code execution via a crafted SWF file [1]. The bug was demonstrated by the Intevydis vd_adobe_fp module in the VulnDisco Step Ahead (SA) exploit pack. Whether Linux is also affected is unclear [1].

Exploitation

The exploitation vector requires an attacker to deliver a crafted SWF file to a victim using the affected Flash Player version [1]. The specific details required to reproduce the attack (such as required user interaction or particular conditions) have not been publicly disclosed. The reliable researcher who created the exploit module has demonstrated the attack in a private video [1].

Impact

Successful exploitation allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system [1]. The attacker gains the ability to run arbitrary commands or malware, potentially leading to full compromise of the affected machine. The scope of impact remains the same as typical Flash Player remote code execution, but the exact privilege level or sandbox escape is not specified in available references.

Mitigation

No official patch from Adobe has been released, and the issue remains undisclosed with no actionable information [1]. Red Hat stated they do not plan to fix the issue due to the lack of further information about the flaw and its impact [1]. As of the publication date, there is no known fix or workaround documented in the provided references.
