Description Tomas Hoger 2015-04-15 07:56:48 UTC 
Adobe Security Bulletin APSB15-06 for Adobe Flash Player describes two information leak issues which can possibly be used to bypass ASLR (Address space layout randomization) protection and make it easier to exploit other flaws.

Quoting from the APSB15-06:

These updates resolve memory leak vulnerabilities that could be used to bypass ASLR (CVE-2015-0357, CVE-2015-3040).
