Description |
41 |
=========== |
42 |
|
43 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Adobe Flash Player: |
44 |
|
45 |
* lakehu of Tencent Security Center reported an unspecified memory |
46 |
corruption vulnerability (CVE-2009-1862). |
47 |
|
48 |
* Mike Wroe reported an unspecified vulnerability, related to |
49 |
"privilege escalation" (CVE-2009-1863). |
50 |
|
51 |
* An anonymous researcher through iDefense reported an unspecified |
52 |
heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-1864). |
53 |
|
54 |
* Chen Chen of Venustech reported an unspecified "null pointer |
55 |
vulnerability" (CVE-2009-1865). |
56 |
|
57 |
* Chen Chen of Venustech reported an unspecified stack-based buffer |
58 |
overflow (CVE-2009-1866). |
59 |
|
60 |
* Joran Benker reported that Adobe Flash Player facilitates |
61 |
"clickjacking" attacks (CVE-2009-1867). |
62 |
|
63 |
* Jun Mao of iDefense reported a heap-based buffer overflow, related |
64 |
to URL parsing (CVE-2009-1868). |
65 |
|
66 |
* Roee Hay of IBM Rational Application Security reported an |
67 |
unspecified integer overflow (CVE-2009-1869). |
68 |
|
69 |
* Gareth Heyes and Microsoft Vulnerability Research reported that the |
70 |
sandbox in Adobe Flash Player allows for information disclosure, when |
71 |
"SWFs are saved to the hard drive" (CVE-2009-1870). |
72 |
|
73 |
Impact |
74 |
====== |
75 |
|
76 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PDF |
77 |
file or web site containing Adobe Flash (SWF) contents, possibly |
78 |
resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the |
79 |
user running the application, or a Denial of Service (application |
80 |
crash). Furthermore, a remote attacker could trick a user into clicking |
81 |
a button on a dialog by supplying a specially crafted SWF file and |
82 |
disclose sensitive information by exploiting a sandbox issue. |
83 |
|
84 |
Workaround |
85 |
========== |
86 |
|
87 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
88 |
|
89 |
