Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.

1) Memory corruption

EUVDB-ID: #VU5216

Risk: High

CVSSv3.1: 8.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2010-0209

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to boundary error when processing .swf files. A remote unauthenticated attacker can create a specially crated .swf file, trick the victim into opening it and execute arbitrary code on the target system with privileges of the current user.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

Vulnerable software versions

4) Click-jacking attack

EUVDB-ID: #VU5220

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 5.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2010-2215

CWE-ID: CWE-451 - User Interface (UI) Misrepresentation of Critical Information (Clickjacking, spoofing)

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform click-jacking attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing untrusted data. A remote unauthenticated attacker can create a specially crated .swf file, trick the victim into opening it and perform click-jacking attack.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow an attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive date or perform phishing attacks.

Mitigation
