Multiple Security Vulnerabilities in the Adobe Flash Player for Solaris May Lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) or Arbitrary Code Execution (Adobe Security Bulletin APSB09-19)

1. Impact

Multiple security vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player 10.0.32.18 and earlier versions may allow a local or remote unprivileged user to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a local user on the system or to cause Adobe Flash Player to crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

These issues are also described in the following documents:


2. Contributing Factors

These issues can occur in the following releases:

SPARC Platform

• Solaris 10 without patch 125332-08
  
• OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_01 through snv_130

x86 Platform

• Solaris 10 without patch 125333-08
• OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_01 through snv_130 
  

Notes:

1. These issues can occur in Flash Player 10.0.32.18 and earlier versions for Solaris

2. Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 are not affected by these issues.

3. OpenSolaris distributions may include additional bug fixes above and beyond the build from which it was derived. The base build can be derived as follows:

$ uname -a
SunOS hostname 5.11 snv_86 i86pc i386 i86pc   

The Flash Player shipped with Solaris is a Web Browser plugin, meaning that the Web Browser should be used to determine the version of the Flash Player in use. For example, when using the Mozilla Browser, visit the following URL:
  
    
and search for the Flash Player in the list of plugins.

3. Symptoms

Should the described issues occur, the web browser may crash and potentially create a core dump depending on the system configuration. There are no predictable symptoms that would indicate these issues have been exploited to execute arbitrary code.

4. Workaround

For Firefox 2.x and Mozilla 1.7 users, remove the Flash Player from the system.

For Firefox 3.x users, disable Flash Player by doing the following:


5. Resolution

These issues are addressed in the following releases:

SPARC Platform

• OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_131 or later

x86 Platform

• Solaris 10 with patch 125333-08 or later
