CVE-2014-0582: Adobe Flash Player and AIR let attackers run code

CVE-2014-0582 · published 11 years ago

Summary

Older versions of Adobe Flash Player on Windows, macOS and Linux, as well as Adobe AIR and its development tools, contain a memory error that could let a malicious web page or program execute anything it wants on a computer. Updating to the latest versions of Flash Player and AIR removes this risk. If you cannot update immediately, limit exposure by disabling Flash content and restricting the use of AIR applications.

What to do

Update adobe air_sdk_\&_compiler to version 15.0.0.356 or later.
