Description Tomas Hoger 2015-07-12 11:49:36 UTC
Adobe Security Advisory APSA15-04 for Adobe Flash Player documents two flaws that can possibly lead to arbitrary code execution when Flash Player is used to play a specially crafted SWF file.

Quoting from the APSA15-04:

Critical vulnerabilities (CVE-2015-5122, CVE-2015-5123) have been identified in Adobe Flash Player 18.0.0.204 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh and Linux. Successful exploitation could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.  

Adobe is aware of reports that exploits targeting these vulnerabilities have been published publicly. Adobe expects to make updates available during the week of July 12, 2015.

Comment 3 Tomas Hoger 2015-07-14 17:18:10 UTC
Adobe Security Bulletin APSB15-18 for Adobe Flash Player was published for these issues.  Updates fixing them are available for most supported platforms.  However, updates for version 11.2.x for Linux are still not available.  The Bulletin mentions they are still expected to be available some time this week:

  Adobe will provide an update for Flash Player for Linux during the week of
  July 12.  The update will be available by visiting the Adobe Flash Player
  Download Center.  Please continue to monitor the PSIRT blog for updates.
