Descriptions

Adobe Flash Player before 13.0.0.241 and 14.x before 14.0.0.176 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.400 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 14.0.0.178 on Windows and OS X and before 14.0.0.179 on Android, Adobe AIR SDK before 14.0.0.178, and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 14.0.0.178 do not properly restrict discovery of memory addresses, which allows attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-0542, CVE-2014-0543, CVE-2014-0544, and CVE-2014-0545.

Adobe Flash Player anterior a 13.0.0.241 y 14.x anterior a 14.0.0.176 en Windows y OS X y anterior a 11.2.202.400 en Linux, Adobe AIR anterior a 14.0.0.178 en Windows y OS X y anterior a 14.0.0.179 en Android, Adobe AIR SDK anterior a 14.0.0.178, y Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler anterior a 14.0.0.178 no restringen debidamente el descubrimiento de las direcciones de memoria, lo que permite a atacantes evadir el mecanismo de protección ASLR a través de vectores no especificados, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2014-0542, CVE-2014-0543, CVE-2014-0544, y CVE-2014-0545.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose memory addresses 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 Vector objects. By manipulating Vector objects an attacker can read arbitrary memory. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to leak arbitrary memory addresses.
