Vulnerabilidad de uso después de la liberación de memoria en Adobe Flash Player en versiones anteriores a 18.0.0.261 y 19.x en versiones anteriores a 19.0.0.245 en Windows y OS X y en versiones anteriores a 11.2.202.548 en Linux, Adobe AIR en versiones anteriores a 19.0.0.241, Adobe AIR SDK en versiones anteriores a 19.0.0.241 y Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler en versiones anteriores a 19.0.0.241 permite a atacantes ejecutar código arbitrario a través de argumentos setMask manipulados, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2015-7651, CVE-2015-7652, CVE-2015-7653, CVE-2015-7654, CVE-2015-7655, CVE-2015-7656, CVE-2015-7657, CVE-2015-7658, CVE-2015-7661, CVE-2015-7663, CVE-2015-8042, CVE-2015-8043, CVE-2015-8044 y CVE-2015-8046.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code 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 setMask method. By manipulating the arguments passed to the setMask method, an attacker can force a dangling pointer to be reused after it has been freed. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current process.

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 APSB15-28 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.
