NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2009-0334.NASL description An updated Adobe Flash Player package that fixes several security issues is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4 Extras. This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The flash-plugin package contains a Firefox-compatible Adobe Flash Player Web browser plug-in. Multiple input validation flaws were found in the way Flash Player displayed certain SWF (Shockwave Flash) content. An attacker could use these flaws to create a specially crafted SWF file that could cause flash-plugin to crash, or, possibly, execute arbitrary code when the victim loaded a page containing the specially crafted SWF content. (CVE-2009-0520, CVE-2009-0519) All users of Adobe Flash Player should install this updated package, which upgrades Flash Player to version 9.0.159.0. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 63873 published 2013-01-24 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2013-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/63873 title RHEL 3 / 4 : flash-plugin (RHSA-2009:0334) NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2009-0332.NASL description An updated Adobe Flash Player package that fixes several security issues is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Supplementary.

(CVE-2009-0520, CVE-2009-0519) It was discovered that Adobe Flash Player had an insecure RPATH (runtime library search path) set in the ELF (Executable and Linking Format) header. A local user with write access to the directory pointed to by RPATH could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Adobe Flash Player.
