Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains a version of Adobe AIR that allows arbitrary code execution.

Description

The remote Windows host contains a version of Adobe AIR earlier than 2.6.0.19140. Such versions are reportedly affected by a memory corruption vulnerability.

By tricking a user on the affected system into opening a specially crafted document with Flash content, such as a SWF file embedded in a Microsoft Word document, an attacker can potentially leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code remotely on the system subject to the user's privileges.

Note that there are reports that this issue is being exploited in the wild as of April 2011.

Solution

Upgrade to Adobe AIR 2.6.0.19140 or later.
