TITLE

Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR In ASLR Vulnerability that breaks protection mechanisms

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 defeat the ASLR protection mechanism by leveraging an "address leak.". This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Adobe Flash Player. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.The specific flaw exists within the handling of the jump operation code. The issue lies in the failure of the ActionScript Virtual Machine to properly sanitize values before jumping to them. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to leak addresses from Flash.ocx within the current process. Attackers can exploit this issue to gain access to sensitive information; this may aid in the execution of arbitrary code. 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. Address disclosure vulnerabilities exist in several Adobe products. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to destroy the ASLR protection mechanism. -----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.
