Descriptions
Heap-based buffer overflow in Adobe Flash Player before 18.0.0.268 and 19.x and 20.x before 20.0.0.228 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.554 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 20.0.0.204, Adobe AIR SDK before 20.0.0.204, and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 20.0.0.204 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted XML object that is mishandled during a toString call, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-8446.
Desbordamiento de buffer basado en memoria dinámica en Adobe Flash Player en versiones anteriores a 18.0.0.268 y 19.x y 20.x en versiones anteriores a 20.0.0.228 en Windows y OS X y en versiones anteriores a 11.2.202.554 en Linux, Adobe AIR en versiones anteriores a 20.0.0.204, Adobe AIR SDK en versiones anteriores a 20.0.0.204 y Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler en versiones anteriores a 20.0.0.204 permite a atacantes ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un objeto XML manipulado que no es manejado correctamente durante una llamada toString, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2015-8446.
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 handling of XML objects. By calling the toString method, it is possible to trigger a heap buffer overflow. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current process.
