Descriptions
Use-after-free vulnerability in the URLRequest object implementation in Adobe Flash Player before 18.0.0.329 and 19.x and 20.x before 20.0.0.306 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.569 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 20.0.0.260, Adobe AIR SDK before 20.0.0.260, and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 20.0.0.260 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a URLLoader.load call, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-0974, CVE-2016-0975, CVE-2016-0982, CVE-2016-0983, and CVE-2016-0984.
Vulnerabilidad de uso después de liberación de memoria en la implementación de objeto URLRequest en Adobe Flash Player en versiones anteriores a 18.0.0.329 y 19.x y 20.x en versiones anteriores a 20.0.0.306 en Windows y OS X y en versiones anteriores a 11.2.202.569 en Linux, Adobe AIR en versiones anteriores a 20.0.0.260, Adobe AIR SDK en versiones anteriores a 20.0.0.260 y Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler en versiones anteriores a 20.0.0.260 permite a atacantes ejecutar código arbitrario a través de una llamada URLLoader.load, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2016-0974, CVE-2016-0975, CVE-2016-0982, CVE-2016-0983 y CVE-2016-0984.
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 URLRequest objects. By calling URLLoader.load on a URLRequest object, 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.
