Descriptions
Adobe Flash Player version 27.0.0.159 and earlier has a flawed bytecode verification procedure, which allows for an untrusted value to be used in the calculation of an array index. This can lead to type confusion, and successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution.
Adobe Flash Player en sus versiones 27.0.0.159 y anteriores tiene un procedimiento de verificación de código de bytes con errores, lo que permite que un valor que no es de confianza se emplee en el cálculo de un índice de arrays. Esto puede llevar a una confusión de tipos, y la explotación con éxito podría desembocar en la ejecución de código arbitrario.
The flash-plugin package contains a Mozilla Firefox compatible Adobe Flash Player web browser plug-in. This update upgrades Flash Player to version 27.0.0.170. Security Fix: This update fixes one vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player. This vulnerability, 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.
