The Adobe Flash Player is a renderer for the SWF file format, which is
commonly used to provide interactive websites.
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).
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.
There is no known workaround at this time.
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"
