Discussion

Adobe Flash Player JPG Header Remote Heap Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Adobe Flash Player is prone to a remote heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to use consistent signedness when handling user-supplied input.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a user running the application. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.

This issue affects Adobe Flash Player 9.0.48.0, 8.0.35.0, 7.0.70.0, and prior versions.
