Discussion

Adobe Shockwave Player DIR File Parsing Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities

Adobe Shockwave Player is prone to multiple remote code-execution vulnerabilities caused by memory-corruption errors while parsing Director (.dir) files.

Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of the currently logged-in user. Failed exploit attempts may cause a denial-of-service condition.

Versions prior to Shockwave Player 11.5.7.609 are vulnerable.

NOTE: These issues were previously covered in BID 40066 (Adobe Shockwave Player APSB10-12 Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities); they have been given their own record to better document them.
