Synopsis
Multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player, the worst of which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
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 < 11.2.202.228 >= 11.2.202.228
Impact
===== A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted SWF file, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able to bypass intended access restrictions, bypass cross-domain policy, inject arbitrary web script, or obtain sensitive information.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
