AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
Use-after-free vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player before 18.0.0.268/20.0.0.228 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
Vulnerability
Use-after-free vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player before 18.0.0.268 and 19.x/20.x before 20.0.0.228 on Windows and OS X, and before 11.2.202.554 on Linux, as well as Adobe AIR before 20.0.0.204. The vulnerability is triggered via unspecified vectors, likely through a crafted SWF file [1].
Exploitation
A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to open a malicious SWF file. No authentication is required. The exact exploitation steps are not publicly disclosed, but the use-after-free condition allows memory corruption [1].
Impact
Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the affected user. This can lead to full system compromise, including installation of malware or data theft [1].
Mitigation
Adobe released fixed versions: Flash Player 18.0.0.268, 20.0.0.228, and 11.2.202.554; AIR 20.0.0.204. The Gentoo security advisory recommends upgrading to version 11.2.202.559 [1]. No workaround is available.
