Descriptions

Unspecified vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player 21.0.0.242 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors, as exploited in the wild in June 2016.

Vulnerabilidad no especificada en Adobe Flash Player 21.0.0.242 y versiones anteriores permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de vectores desconocidos, tal como se ha explotado activamente en junio de 2016.

The flash-plugin package contains a Mozilla Firefox compatible Adobe Flash Player web browser plug-in. This update upgrades Flash Player to version 11.2.202.626. Security Fix: This update fixes multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player. These vulnerabilities, detailed in the Adobe Security Bulletin 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.
