>> Adobe Flash Player Code Execution and Clickjacking Vulnerabilities
|
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Adobe Flash Player, which could be exploited by attackers to gain knowledge of sensitive information, manipulate certain data, cause a denial of service or compromise a vulnerable system.
The first issue is caused due to invalid object references when creating and destroying certain objects during the processing of a Shockwave Flash file, which could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into visitig a malicious web page.
The second vulnerability is caused by an unspecified input validation error, which could be exploited to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code.
The third issue is caused by an unspecified error related to the Settings Manager, which could be exploited to conduct clickjacking attacks.
The fourth weakness is caused by an unspecified error related to mouse pointer display, which could be exploited to conduct clickjacking attacks against Windows systems.
The fifth vulnerability is caused by an unspecified information disclosure issue in the Flash Player binary for Linux, which could be exploited by local attackers to gain elevated privileges.
