    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200708-01 (Macromedia Flash Player: Remote arbitrary code execution) Mark Hills discovered some errors when interacting with a browser for keystrokes handling (CVE-2007-2022). Stefano Di Paola and Giorgio Fedon from Minded Security discovered a boundary error when processing FLV files (CVE-2007-3456). An input validation error when processing HTTP referrers has also been reported (CVE-2007-3457). Impact : A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the Macromedia Flash Player, or sensitive data access. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.

    descriptionAccording to its version number, the instance of Flash Player on the remote Windows host could allow for arbitrary code execution by means of a malicious SWF file. In addition, it may also fail to sufficiently validate the HTTP Referer header, which may aid in cross-site request forgery attacks. This issue does not, though, affect Flash Player 9.
