DescriptionCVE.org

Unspecified vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player 10.2.154.13 and earlier on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris; 10.1.106.16 and earlier on Android; Adobe AIR 2.5.1 and earlier; and Authplay.dll (aka AuthPlayLib.bundle) in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x through 9.4.2 and 10.x through 10.0.1 on Windows and Mac OS X, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via crafted Flash content, as demonstrated by a .swf file embedded in an Excel spreadsheet, and as exploited in the wild in March 2011.

AnalysisAI

Adobe Flash Player 10.2 and earlier across all platforms contain an unspecified vulnerability allowing remote code execution, exploited in the wild via Flash content embedded in Microsoft Office documents and web pages.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability in Flash Player's SWF processing engine allows attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution. The Authplay.dll/AuthPlayLib.bundle component extends the attack surface to PDF documents, since Adobe Reader renders embedded Flash content.

RemediationAI

Flash Player has reached end of life. Remove all Flash Player installations. Ensure browsers block Flash content. Use PDF readers that don't support Flash embedding.
