Zero-Day Vulnerability with Hacker

Adobe Flash Player versions 9.0 through version 18.0.0.194 contain a use-after-free vulnerability in the AS3 ByteArray class. This can allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.

Impact

An attacker can execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running Flash Player. Attacks typically involve enticing a user to visit a web site containing specially-crafted Flash content, or to open a specially-crafted Microsoft Office document.

Solution

This is a Zero-Day vulnerability found inside the Hacking Team dump.

Adobe will soon release an emergency patch to Flash Player.

This vulnerability can be mitigated by not running untrusted Flash content.
