Date: August 08, 2007
Updated: May 28, 2009
Bug(s): #185141
ID: 200708-01
Synopsis
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Macromedia Flash Player, allowing for the remote execution of arbitrary code.
Background
The Macromedia Flash Player is a renderer for the popular SWF file type which is commonly used to provide interactive websites, digital experiences and mobile content.
Affected Packages
Package: www-plugins/adobe-flash
Vulnerable: < 9.0.48.0
Unaffected: >= 9.0.48.0
Architectures: All supported architectures
Description
Mark Hills discovered some errors when interacting with a browser for keystrokes handling (CVE-2007-2022). Stefano Di Paola and Giorgio Fedon from Minded Security discovered a boundary error when processing FLV files (CVE-2007-3456). An input validation error when processing HTTP referrers has also been reported (CVE-2007-3457).
Impact
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the Macromedia Flash Player, or sensitive data access.
Workaround
