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.
