Descriptions

Adobe Flash Player before 18.0.0.241 and 19.x before 19.0.0.185 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.521 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 19.0.0.190, Adobe AIR SDK before 19.0.0.190, and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 19.0.0.190 do not properly restrict discovery of memory addresses, which allows attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via unspecified vectors.

Vulnerabilidad en Adobe Flash Player en versiones anteriores a 18.0.0.241 y 19.x en versiones anteriores a 19.0.0.185 en Windows y OS X y en versiones anteriores a 11.2.202.521 en Linux, Adobe AIR en versiones anteriores a 19.0.0.190, Adobe AIR SDK en versiones anteriores a 19.0.0.190 y Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler en versiones anteriores a 19.0.0.190, no restringe adecuadamente el descubrimiento de direcciones de memoria, lo que permite a atacantes eludir el mecanismo de protección ASLR a través de vectores no especificados.

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. These vulnerabilities, detailed in the Adobe Security Bulletin APSB15-23 listed in the References section, could allow an attacker to create a specially crafted SWF file that would cause flash-plugin to crash, execute arbitrary code, or disclose sensitive information when the victim loaded a page containing the malicious SWF content.
