Descriptions
Adobe Flash Player before 18.0.0.343 and 19.x through 21.x before 21.0.0.213 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.616 on Linux allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by overriding NetConnection object properties to leverage an unspecified "type confusion," a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-1019.
Adobe Flash Player en versiones anteriores a 18.0.0.343 y 19.x hasta la versión 21.x en versiones anteriores a 21.0.0.213 en Windows y OS X y en versiones anteriores a 11.2.202.616 en Linux permite a atacantes ejecutar código arbitrario sobrescribiendo las propiedades de objeto NetConnection para aprovechar una "confusión de tipo" no especificada, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2016-1019.
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 NetConnection objects. By overriding specific object properties, it is possible to trigger a type confusion condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current process.
