Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) “Use-after-free” error (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-7857)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when processing .swf files. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted .swf file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of the vulnerable system.
2) “Use-after-free” error (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-7858)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when processing .swf files. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted .swf file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of the vulnerable system.
3) “Use-after-free” error (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-7859)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when processing .swf files. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted .swf file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of the vulnerable system.
4) Type confusion error (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-7860)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error when processing .swf files. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted .swf file, trick the victim into opening it and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of the vulnerable system.
5) Type confusion error (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-7861)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error when processing .swf files. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted .swf file, trick the victim into opening it and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of the vulnerable system.
