Impact

Security vulnerabilities in the Adobe Flash Player product shipped with Solaris 10 may allow remote users who create applications that are viewed with the Flash Player to generate unauthorized HTTP requests from the affected host by inserting arbitrary HTTP headers. This could assist in activities such as HTTP Request Splitting attacks.
