SUBJECT: Multiple Vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player Could Allow For Remote Code Execution

OVERVIEW:

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Adobe Flash Player and AIR that could allow an attacker to take control of the affected system. Adobe Flash Player is a widely distributed multimedia and application player used to enhance the user experience when visiting web pages or reading email messages.

Successful exploitation could result in an attacker gaining the same privileges as the logged on user. Depending on the privileges associated with the user, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.

DESCRIPTION:

Adobe Flash Player is prone to seventeen vulnerabilities that could allow for remote code execution or information disclosure. The vulnerabilities are as follows:

Multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities that could lead to code execution (CVE-2013-1372, CVE-2013-0645, CVE-2013-1373, CVE-2013-1369, CVE-2013-1370, CVE-2013-1366, CVE-2013-1365, CVE-2013-1368, CVE-2013-0642, CVE-2013-1367)
Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities that could lead to code execution (CVE-2013-0649, CVE-2013-1374, CVE-2013-0644)
An integer overflow vulnerability that could lead to code execution (CVE-2013-0639)
Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities that could lead to code execution (CVE-2013-0638, CVE-2013-0647)
A vulnerability that could result in information disclosure (CVE-2013-0637)
