Synopsis
Multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service.
Background
The Adobe Flash Player is a renderer for the SWF file format, which is commonly used to provide interactive websites.
Affected packages
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-plugins/adobe-flash < 10.0.42.34 >= 10.0.42.34
Description
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Adobe Flash Player:
- An anonymous researcher working with the Zero Day Initiative reported that Adobe Flash Player does not properly process JPEG files (CVE-2009-3794).
- Jim Cheng of EffectiveUI reported an unspecified data injection vulnerability (CVE-2009-3796).
- Bing Liu of Fortinet's FortiGuard Labs reported multiple unspecified memory corruption vulnerabilities (CVE-2009-3797, CVE-2009-3798).
- Damian Put reported an integer overflow in the Verifier::parseExceptionHandlers() function (CVE-2009-3799).
- Will Dormann of CERT reported multiple unspecified Denial of Service vulnerabilities (CVE-2009-3800).
Impact
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted SWF file, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service via unknown vectors.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All Adobe Flash Player users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
">=www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.0.42.34"
