TITLE

Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR Vulnerabilities that bypass unspecified protection mechanisms

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2014-001179

DESCRIPTION

Adobe Flash Player before 11.7.700.260 and 11.8.x and 11.9.x before 12.0.0.38 on Windows and Mac OS X and before 11.2.202.335 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 4.0.0.1390, Adobe AIR SDK before 4.0.0.1390, and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 4.0.0.1390 allow attackers to bypass unspecified protection mechanisms via unknown vectors. Attackers can exploit this issue to bypass certain security restrictions to perform unauthorized actions. This may aid in further attacks. Adobe AIR is a cross-operating system runtime environment that can be used to build and configure cross-platform desktop RIA (Rich Internet Applications) applications. Permissions and access control vulnerabilities exist in several Adobe products. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Critical: flash-plugin security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2014:0028-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Supplementary Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-0028.html Issue date: 2014-01-15 CVE Names: CVE-2014-0491 CVE-2014-0492 ===================================================================== 1. Summary: An updated Adobe Flash Player package that fixes two security issues is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 Supplementary. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having critical security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. 2.
