Use-after-free in Adobe Flash Player before 18.0.0.203 allows arbitrary code execution via unspecified vectors.
Vulnerability
Use-after-free vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player before 13.0.0.302 and 14.x through 18.x before 18.0.0.203 on Windows and OS X, before 11.2.202.481 on Linux, and in Adobe AIR before 18.0.0.180 [1][2].
Exploitation
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to open a specially crafted SWF file, with no authentication required [1]. The specific vectors are unspecified but likely involve malformed content that triggers a use-after-free condition.
Impact
Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution in the context of the affected user, potentially leading to full system compromise [2].
Mitigation
Update to the latest fixed versions: Flash Player 18.0.0.203 (Windows/OS X) or 11.2.202.481 (Linux), and AIR 18.0.0.180 [1][2]. No workaround is available [2].
