Description
This security bulletin contains information about 12 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Use-after-free error (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2982)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free error in Adobe Flash Player when processing malformed .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 with privileges of the current user.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.2) Use-after-free error (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2985)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free error in Adobe Flash Player when processing malformed .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 with privileges of the current user.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.3) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2986)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in Adobe Flash Player when processing malformed .swf files. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted .swf file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system with privileges of the current user.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
4) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2987)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in Adobe Flash Player when processing malformed .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 with privileges of the current user.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.5) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2988)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in Adobe Flash Player when processing malformed .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 with privileges of the current user.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
6) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2990)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in Adobe Flash Player when processing malformed .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 with privileges of the current user.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
7) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2991)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in Adobe Flash Player when processing malformed .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 with privileges of the current user.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
8) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2992)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in Adobe Flash Player when processing malformed .swf files. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted .swf file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system with privileges of the current user.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
9) Use-after-free error (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2993)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free error in Adobe Flash Player when processing malformed .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 with privileges of the current user.
