Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Adobe Flash Player versions 24.0.0.221 and earlier

Description The issue is caused by a memory buffer overflow in the Primetime TVSDK functionality of the Flash Player platform. This can allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code, resulting in memory corruption. The vulnerability is related to the hosting playback surface.

Recommendations For Adobe Flash Player versions 24.0.0.221 and earlier, update to a version later than 24.0.0.221 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the Primetime TVSDK functionality until a patch is available. Restrict access to the vulnerable playback surface to minimize the risk of exploitation.
