Desbordamiento de buffer en Adobe Flash Player anterior a 11.7.700.279 y 11.8.x hasta 13.0.x anterior a 13.0.0.206 en Windows y OS X y anterior a 11.2.202.356 en Linux, permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de vectores no especificados, tal y como fue explotado activamente en abril 2014.

The flash-plugin package contains a Mozilla Firefox compatible Adobe Flash Player web browser plug-in. This update fixes one vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player. This vulnerability is detailed in the Adobe Security Bulletin APSB14-13, listed in the References section. A flaw was found in the way flash-plugin displayed certain SWF content. An attacker could use this flaw to create a specially crafted SWF file that would cause flash-plugin to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when the victim loaded a page containing the malicious SWF content.
