|
The Macromedia Flash Player is a renderer for the popular SWF
|
|
filetype which is commonly used to provide interactive websites,
|
|
digital experiences and mobile content.
|

|

<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When handling a SWF file, the Macromedia Flash Player incorrectly
|
|
validates the frame type identifier stored in the SWF file which is
|
|
used as an index to reference an array of function pointers. A
|
|
specially crafted SWF file can cause this index to reference memory
|
|
outside of the scope of the Macromedia Flash Player, which in turn can
|
|
cause the Macromedia Flash Player to use unintended memory address(es)
|
|
as function pointers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An attacker serving a maliciously crafted SWF file could entice a
|
|
user to view the SWF file and execute arbitrary code on the user's
|
|
machine.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Macromedia Flash Player users should upgrade to the latest
|
|
version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-plugins/adobe-flash-7.0.61"</code>
