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-2014-0540, CVE-2014-0542, CVE-2014-0543, and CVE-2014-0544.

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 la memoria, lo que permite a atacantes evadir el mecanismo de protección ASLR a través de vectores no especificados, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2014-0540, CVE-2014-0542, CVE-2014-0543, y CVE-2014-0544.

The flash-plugin package contains a Mozilla Firefox compatible Adobe Flash Player web browser plug-in. This update fixes multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player. Multiple flaws were found in the way flash-plugin displayed certain SWF content. An attacker could use these flaws 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.
