netscape-flash: buffer overflow
| Package(s): | netscape-flash |
CVE #(s): | |
| Created: | March 10, 2003 |
Updated: | June 20, 2003 |
| Description: |
Potentially exploitable buffer overflows exist in the Macromedia Flash
Player. The full advisory is here.
"The cumulative security patch is available today and addresses the
potential for exploits surrounding buffer overflows (read/write) and
sandbox integrity within the player, which might allow malicious users to
gain access to a user's computer. The possibility of running native code on
a users machine is a theoretical exploit, and extremely difficult to
execute in practice. There are no known examples of running such native
code from Macromedia Flash movies; however, even though this issue is
difficult and theoretical in nature only, we are encouraging users to
upgrade." |
