Description Anssi Hannula 2015-02-05 18:07:59 CET 
Advisory:
============
Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.442 contains fixes to critical security vulnerabilities found in earlier versions that could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.

This updates resolves use-after-free vulnerabilities that could lead to code execution (CVE-2015-0313, CVE-2015-0315, CVE-2015-0320, CVE-2015-0322). 

This updates resolves memory corruption vulnerabilities that could lead to code execution (CVE-2015-0314, CVE-2015-0316, CVE-2015-0318, CVE-2015-0321, CVE-2015-0329, CVE-2015-0330). 

This updates resolves type confusion vulnerabilities that could lead to code execution (CVE-2015-0317, CVE-2015-0319). 

This updates resolves heap buffer overflow vulnerabilities that could lead to code execution (CVE-2015-0323, CVE-2015-0327). 

This updates resolves a buffer overflow vulnerability that could lead to code execution (CVE-2015-0324). 

This updates resolves null pointer dereference issues (CVE-2015-0325, CVE-2015-0326, CVE-2015-0328).

Adobe reports that CVE-2015-0313 is already being actively exploited in the wild via drive-by-download attacks against systems running Internet Explorer and Firefox on Windows, but it also reports that this specific vulnerability is not exploitable on any Flash Player version 11.x or older, which is what is provided on Mageia 4.

============

NOTE: I decided to include CVE-2015-0313 even though 11.x should not be affected by it, for completeness and because the Security Bulletin implies it is affected even though the earlier Security Advisory explicitly said it does not affect 11.x.
