LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
Adobe Flash Player before 13.0.0.302 and 14.x–18.x before 18.0.0.203, along with AIR versions, contain a memory corruption vulnerability that allows arbitrary code execution or denial of service.
Vulnerability
Adobe Flash Player versions before 13.0.0.302, 14.x through 18.x before 18.0.0.203 on Windows and OS X, and before 11.2.202.481 on Linux, as well as Adobe AIR before 18.0.0.180, AIR SDK before 18.0.0.180, and AIR SDK & Compiler before 18.0.0.180, contain a memory corruption vulnerability via unspecified vectors. This is distinct from several other CVEs (CVE-2015-3117, CVE-2015-3123, CVE-2015-3133, CVE-2015-3134, CVE-2015-4431) [1][2].
Exploitation
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by delivering a crafted SWF file to a user, typically via a web page or email. No special network position or authentication is required; user interaction (e.g., visiting a malicious site or opening a crafted file) triggers the vulnerable code path [2].
Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the affected process or cause a denial of service (application crash). This can lead to full system compromise if the process runs with elevated privileges [2].
Mitigation
Adobe released fixed versions: Flash Player 13.0.0.302, 18.0.0.203, and 11.2.202.481; AIR 18.0.0.180; and corresponding SDK versions on 2015-07-09. Users should update immediately. Red Hat [1] and Gentoo [2] advisories confirm these fixes. No workaround is available [2].
