Descriptions

In 32-bit versions of Firefox, the Adobe Flash plugin setting for "Enable Adobe Flash protected mode" is unchecked by default even though the Adobe Flash sandbox is actually enabled. The displayed state is the reverse of the true setting, resulting in user confusion. This could cause users to select this setting intending to activate it and inadvertently turn protections off. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 60.

En las versiones de 32 bits de Firefox, la configuración del plugin de Adobe Flash para "Activar el modo protegido de Adobe Flash" está desactivada por defecto a pesar de que el sandbox de Adobe Flash está en realidad activado. El estado visualizado es el inverso de la configuración correcta, lo que confunde al usuario. Esto podría hacer que los usuarios seleccionen este ajuste con la intención de activarlo y desactivar inadvertidamente las protecciones. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a las versiones anteriores a la 60 de Firefox.
