Adobe Flash Player - Important Security Update http://secunia.com/advisories/21865/ http://www.frsirt.com/english/advisories/2006/3573 http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb06-11.html http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/925143.mspx | Quote: |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Adobe Flash Player, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions or compromise a user's system.
1) A boundary error during the handling of strings dynamically generated at runtime can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via an overly long string.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code when e.g. visiting a malicious website.
2) An unspecified error allows bypassing the "allowScriptAccess" option.
3) Using a "Shockwave Flash Object", it is possible to execute Flash files containing JavaScript embedded in Office documents automatically when the Office document is opened. |
