| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Adobe Flash Player versions 23.0.0.207 and earlier
Adobe Flash Player versions 11.2.202.644 and earlier
Description
The issue is related to a use after free vulnerability when setting the length property of an array object. This could lead to arbitrary code execution if successfully exploited. The vulnerability is associated with the use of memory after it has been freed, allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code by setting the length property of array objects.
Recommendations
For Adobe Flash Player versions 23.0.0.207 and earlier, update to a version later than 23.0.0.207 to resolve the issue.
For Adobe Flash Player versions 11.2.202.644 and earlier, update to a version later than 11.2.202.644 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of array objects with dynamically set length properties until a patch is available.
