AI Insight

LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.

Adobe Flash Player and AIR before specific versions allow remote code execution or denial of service via stack memory corruption.

Vulnerability

Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR contain a stack memory corruption vulnerability that can be triggered via unspecified vectors. Affected versions include Flash Player before 18.0.0.241 and 19.x before 19.0.0.185 on Windows and OS X, and before 11.2.202.521 on Linux. Adobe AIR before 19.0.0.190, AIR SDK before 19.0.0.190, and AIR SDK & Compiler before 19.0.0.190 are also affected [1][2].

Exploitation

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to open a specially crafted SWF file or visit a malicious website hosting the file. No authentication is required, and the attack can be delivered remotely. The exact vectors are unspecified, but the vulnerability leads to stack memory corruption when processed by the vulnerable Flash or AIR runtime [1][2].

Impact

Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the affected user or cause a denial of service via stack memory corruption. This could result in full system compromise, including data theft, installation of malware, or disruption of services [1][2].

Mitigation

Adobe released fixed versions: Flash Player 18.0.0.241, 19.0.0.185 (Windows/OS X), 11.2.202.521 (Linux), and AIR 19.0.0.190. Users should update to these versions immediately. No workaround is available. Red Hat and Gentoo advisories confirm the update as the only mitigation [1][2].
