[SingCERT] Adobe Flash Player Update

Last Updated on Wednesday, 27 February 2013 14:23

[ Summary ]

Adobe has released security updates for Adobe Flash Player to address a vulnerability that could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.

A remote user can create a specially crafted Flash content that, when loaded by the target user, will execute arbitrary code on the target system. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.

A buffer overflow may occur in the Flash Player broker service [CVE-2013-0504].

A permission error may occur in the Flash Player Firefox sandbox [CVE-2013-0643].

A flaw may occur in the ExternalInterface ActionScript feature [CVE-2013-0648].

The two flaws [CVE-2013-0643, CVE-2013-0648] are being actively exploited against Mozilla Firefox.
