   For more complete information, refer to Adobe Security Bulletin

Overview

   There are critical vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash player and related
   software. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow a remote,
   unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial
   of service on a vulnerable system.


I. Description

   Adobe Security Bulletin APSB07-12 addresses vulnerabilities in Adobe
   Flash Player and related software. Further information is available in
   the US-CERT Vulnerability Notes database.

   Several operating systems, including Microsoft Windows and Apple OS X,
   have vulnerable versions of Flash installed by default. Systems with
   Flash-enabled web browsers are vulnerable. To exploit these
   vulnerabilities, an attacker could host a specially crafted Flash file
   on a web site and convince a user to visit the site.


II. Impact

   A remote, unauthenticated attacker could execute arbitrary code with
   the privileges of the user, steal credentials, or create a
   denial-of-service condition. If the user is logged on with
   administrative privileges, the attacker could take complete control of
   an affected system.


III. Solution

Apply Updates

   Check with your vendor for patches or updates. For information about a
   specific vendor, please see the Systems Affected section in the
   vulnerability notes or contact your vendor directly. If you get the
   flash player from Adobe, see the Adobe Get Flash page for information
   about updates.

Disable Flash

   Users who are unable to apply the patch should disable Flash. Contact
   your vendor or see the US-CERT Vulnerability Notes VU#110297,
   VU#730785, or VU#138457 for more details.
