Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Adobe Flash Player, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions or compromise a user's system.

1) A boundary error during the handling of strings dynamically generated at runtime can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via an overly long string.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code when e.g. visiting a malicious website.

2) An unspecified error allows bypassing the "allowScriptAccess" option.

3) Using a "Shockwave Flash Object", it is possible to execute Flash files containing JavaScript embedded in Office documents automatically when the Office document is opened.


Solution
Update to version 9.0.16.0 or another fixed version (see the vendor advisory for details).

Provided and/or discovered by
1) Stuart Pearson, Computer Terrorism UK Ltd.
2) Reported by the vendor.
3) Debasis Mohanty
