Description

Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Adobe Flash Player, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass security features, gain knowledge of sensitive information, or compromise a user's system.

1) An unspecified error can be exploited to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code via specially crafted SWF content.

2) The control has been built using a vulnerable version of ATL, which may be exploited to disclose memory content, bypass security features like kill-bits, and corrupt memory to execute arbitrary code when used in Internet Explorer.

For more information:
SA35967

3) An unspecified error can be exploited to gain escalated privileges.

4) A use-after-free error when parsing Shockwave Flash files may cause references to remain pointing to a deleted object, which can be exploited to corrupt memory.

5) An unspecified error may lead to a "null pointer vulnerability".

6) An unspecified error may lead to a "stack overflow vulnerability".

7) A click-jacking error can be exploited to trick a user into unknowingly click a link or dialog.

8) An error in the parsing of URLs can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.

9) An integer overflow error in the AVM2 abcFile parser when handling the "intrf_count" value of the "instance_info" structure can be exploited to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code.

10) An error in the local sandbox can be exploited to gain knowledge of sensitive information when a SWF is saved to the hard drive.


Solution
Update to Flash Player 9.0.246.0 or 10.0.32.18 and Adobe AIR version 1.5.2.
