Synopsis
The remote Windows host has a browser plugin that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
Description
According to its version, the installation of Adobe Flash Player installed on the remote Windows host is equal or prior to 15.0.0.189. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :
- Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-0576, CVE-2014-0581, CVE-2014-8440, CVE-2014-8441)
- Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities could result in arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-0573, CVE-2014-0588, CVE-2014-8438, CVE-2014-0574)
- Multiple type confusion vulnerabilities could result in arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-0577, CVE-2014-0584, CVE-2014-0585, CVE-2014-0586, CVE-2014-0590)
- Multiple heap-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities can be exploited to execute arbitrary code or elevate privileges. (CVE-2014-0583, CVE-2014-0582, CVE-2014-0589)
- A permission issue that allows a remote attacker to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2014-8442)
- An information disclosure vulnerability can be exploited to disclose secret session tokens. (CVE-2014-8437)
Solution
Upgrade to Adobe Flash Player version 15.0.0.223 or later.
Alternatively, Adobe has made version 13.0.0.252 available for those installations that cannot be upgraded to 15.x.
