Descriptions

Adobe Flash Player before 18.0.0.333 and 19.x through 21.x before 21.0.0.182 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.577 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 21.0.0.176, Adobe AIR SDK before 21.0.0.176, and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 21.0.0.176 allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (uninitialized pointer dereference and memory corruption) via crafted MPEG-4 data, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-0960, CVE-2016-0961, CVE-2016-0962, CVE-2016-0986, CVE-2016-0989, CVE-2016-0992, and CVE-2016-1002.

Adobe Flash Player en versiones anteriores a 18.0.0.333 y 19.x hasta la versión 21.x en versiones anteriores a 21.0.0.182 en Windows y OS X y en versiones anteriores a 11.2.202.577 en Linux, Adobe AIR en versiones anteriores a 21.0.0.176, Adobe AIR SDK en versiones anteriores a 21.0.0.176 y Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler en versiones anteriores a 21.0.0.176 permite a atacantes ejecutar código arbitrario o provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria) a través de vectores no especificados, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2016-0960, CVE-2016-0961, CVE-2016-0962, CVE-2016-0986, CVE-2016-0989, CVE-2016-0992 y CVE-2016-1002.

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 MPEG-4 parsing. A specially crafted MP4 file can force the dereference of an uninitialized pointer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current process.
