Discussion

Adobe Flash Player and AIR Unspecified Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR are prone to an unspecified privilege-escalation vulnerability.

Very few details are available regarding this issue. We will update this BID as more information emerges.

Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. Successful exploits will compromise the affected application and possibly the computer.

NOTE: This issue was previously covered in BID 35890 (Adobe Flash Player and AIR Multiple Security Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document it.

UPDATE (September 4, 2009): Mac OS X 10.6 reportedly ships with Flash Player 10.0.23.1, which will overwrite any installed version of Flash Player when Mac OS X is being installed.

This issue affects versions *prior to* the following:

Flash Player 10.0.32.18
AIR 1.5.2
