The bulletin addresses: * These updates resolve an integer overflow vulnerability that could lead to code execution (CVE-2010-2862). * These updates further mitigate a social engineering attack that could lead to code execution (CVE-2010-1240). * These updates incorporate the Adobe Flash Player update as noted in Security Bulletin APSB10-16. The first issue is tracked via bug #621687 and the Flash Player-related issues are tracked via bug #622947. CVE-2010-1240 was previously noted to have been corrected in APSB10-15 (see bug #609203), so Adobe should have used a different CVE name here instead. All the issue are public now via updated APSB10-17. (In reply to comment #2) > CVE-2010-1240 was previously noted to have been corrected in APSB10-15 (see bug > #609203), so Adobe should have used a different CVE name here instead.
