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.

Do you have this product installed on your home computer? Scan using the free Personal Software Inspector. Check if a vulnerable version is installed on computers in your corporate network, using the Network Software Inspector.

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

1) Stuart Pearson, Computer Terrorism UK Ltd.
