| Description: | From the Red Hat advisory:
A flaw was found in the way Adobe Flash Player wrote content to the clipboard. A malicious SWF file could populate the clipboard with a URL that could cause the user to mistakenly load an attacker-controlled URL. (CVE-2008-3873) A flaw was found which allowed Adobe Flash Player's ActionScript to initiate file uploads and downloads without user interaction. FileReference.browse and FileReference.download calls can now only be initiated via user interaction, such as mouse-clicks or key-presses on the keyboard. (CVE-2008-4401) A flaw was found in Adobe Flash Player's display of the Settings Manager content. A malicious SWF file could trick the user into unknowingly clicking a link or dialog. This could then give the malicious SWF file permission to access the local machine's camera or microphone. (CVE-2008-4503) | ||||||||||||||
