Descriptions

Adobe Flash Player before 18.0.0.255 and 19.x before 19.0.0.226 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.540 on Linux allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging an unspecified "type confusion," a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-7648.

Adobe Flash Player en versiones anteriores a 18.0.0.255 y 19.x en versiones anteriores a 19.0.0.226 en Windows y OS X y en versiones anteriores a 11.2.202.540 en Linux permite a atacantes ejecutar código arbitrario aprovechando una 'confusión de tipos' no especificada, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2015-7648.

The flash-plugin package contains a Mozilla Firefox compatible Adobe Flash Player web browser plug-in. This update fixes three vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player. These vulnerabilities, detailed in the Adobe Security Bulletin APSB15-27 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.
