Descriptions

Use-after-free vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player before 11.7.700.275 and 11.8.x through 13.0.x before 13.0.0.182 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.350 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 13.0.0.83 on Android, Adobe AIR SDK before 13.0.0.83, and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 13.0.0.83 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, and possibly bypass an Internet Explorer sandbox protection mechanism, via unspecified vectors, as demonstrated by VUPEN during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2014.

Una vulnerabilidad de uso de la memoria previamente liberada en Adobe Flash Player anteriores a versión 11.7.700.275 y versiones 11.8.x hasta 13.0.x anteriores a 13.0.0.182 en Windows y OS X y anteriores a versión 11.2.202.350 en Linux, Adobe AIR anteriores a versión 13.0.0.83 en Android, Adobe AIR SDK anteriores a versión 13.0.0.83, y Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler anteriores a versión 13.0.0.83, permite a los atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario, y posiblemente omitir un mecanismo de protección del sandbox de Internet Explorer, por medio de vectores no especificados, como es demostrado por VUPEN durante una competencia de Pwn2Own en CanSecWest 2014.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Adobe Flash. 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 ExternalInterface. By manipulating a SWF's objects an attacker can force a dangling pointer to be reused after it has been freed. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
