Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Use-after-free error (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2994)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free error in Adobe Flash Player when processing PSDKEvent objects. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted .swf file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system with privileges of the current user.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2997)
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 in Adobe Flash Player. A remote unauthenticated attacker can create a specially crafted .swf file, trick the victim into opening i, trigger buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
3) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2998)
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 in Adobe Flash Player. A remote unauthenticated attacker can create a specially crafted .swf file, trick the victim into opening i, trigger buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
4) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2999)
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 in Adobe Flash Player. A remote unauthenticated attacker can create a specially crafted .swf file, trick the victim into opening i, trigger buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
5) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-3000)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive data.
The vulnerability exists due to boundary error in random number generator used for constant blinding in Adobe Flash Player. A remote unauthenticated attacker can create a specially crafted .swf file, trick the victim into opening i, trigger buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in disclosure of potentially sensitive data.
6) Use-after-free error (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-3001)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when processing .swf files in Adobe Flash Player. A remote unauthenticated attacker can create a specially crafted .swf file, trick the victim into opening i, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
7) Use-after-free error (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-3002)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when processing .swf files in Adobe Flash Player. A remote unauthenticated attacker can create a specially crafted .swf file, trick the victim into opening i, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
8) Use-after-free error (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-3003)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when processing .swf files in Adobe Flash Player. A remote unauthenticated attacker can create a specially crafted .swf file, trick the victim into opening i, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
