Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Shockwave Player, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) Insufficient input validation when verifying an offset inside a CSWV chunk can be exploited to manipulate values outside the bounds of an allocated heap buffer.

2) A signedness error when evaluating the size of certain data in a CSWV chunk can be exploited to manipulate values outside the bounds of an allocated heap buffer.

3) An integer overflow error when calculating the size of certain data in a CSWV chunk can be exploited to manipulate values outside the bounds of an allocated heap buffer.

4) A use-after-free error in an automatically installed compatibility component may result in a function in an unloaded library being called.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that a user is tricked into opening the "Shockwave Settings" window when viewing a web page.

5) An unspecified error can be exploited to corrupt memory.

6) An unspecified error when parsing a certain chunk can be exploited to corrupt memory.

7) An input validation error in dirapi.dll when parsing IFWV chunks can be exploited to corrupt memory.

8) An input validation error in the IML32 module when handling the global colour table size of a GIF image within a Director movie can be exploited to corrupt memory.

9) Improper calculation of an offset from several elements of a sub-structure referenced by the CSWV chunk can be exploited to corrupt memory.

10) An unspecified error can be exploited to corrupt memory.

11) Insufficient input validation when parsing 3D assets can be exploited to corrupt memory via a specially crafted record type 0xFFFFFF88.

12) An input validation error exists in an unspecified module.

13) An input validation error exists in dirapi.dll.

14) An input validation error exists in the TextXtra module.

15) An input validation error exists in the Shockwave 3d Asset module.

16) An unspecified error can be exploited to corrupt memory.

17) An unspecified error can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow.

18) A logic error in the TextXtra.x32 module when parsing DEMX chunks can be exploited to corrupt memory.

19) An error in the Font Xtra.x32 module when parsing PFR1 chunks can be exploited to corrupt memory.

20) An integer overflow error when parsing 3D assets can be exploited to corrupt memory via a specially crafted record type 0xFFFFFF45.

21) An signedness error in the Font Xtra.x32 module when parsing PFR1 chunks can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions 11.5.9.615 and prior for Windows and Mac.

Solution
Update to version 11.5.9.620.
