+ <background>
+ <p>
+ The Adobe Flash Player is a renderer for the popular SWF file format,
+ which is commonly used to provide interactive websites, digital
+ experiences and mobile content.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Adobe Flash:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Secunia Research and Zero Day Initiative reported a boundary error
+ related to DeclareFunction2 Actionscript tags in SWF files
+ (CVE-2007-6019).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The ISS X-Force and the Zero Day Initiative reported an unspecified
+ input validation error that might lead to a buffer overflow
+ (CVE-2007-0071).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Microsoft, UBsecure and JPCERT/CC reported that cross-domain policy
+ files are not checked before sending HTTP headers to another domain
+ (CVE-2008-1654) and that it does not sufficiently restrict the
+ interpretation and usage of cross-domain policy files (CVE-2007-6243).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The Stanford University and Ernst and Young's Advanced Security Center
+ reported that Flash does not pin DNS hostnames to a single IP
+ addresses, allowing for DNS rebinding attacks (CVE-2007-5275,
+ CVE-2008-1655).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The Google Security Team and Minded Security Multiple reported multiple
+ cross-site scripting vulnerabilities when passing input to Flash
+ functions (CVE-2007-6637).
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file
+ (usually in a web browser), possibly leading to the execution of
+ arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the Adobe Flash
+ Player. The attacker could also cause a user's machine to send HTTP
+ requests to other hosts, establish TCP sessions with arbitrary hosts,
+ bypass the security sandbox model, or conduct Cross-Site Scripting and
+ Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Adobe Flash Player users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-plugins/adobe-flash-9.0.124.0&quot;</code>
+ </resolution>
