Multiple Security Vulnerabilities in the Flash Player Plugin for Solaris

---

Multiple Security Vulnerabilities in the Flash Player plugin for Solaris:

1. Impact

Multiple security vulnerabilities in the Flash Player plugin distributed with Solaris may allow a remote unprivileged user the ability to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a local user on the system while loading a malicious SWF file with the affected plugin.  In addition, the Flash Player plugin may allow a remote user to bypass the Security Sandbox Model, modify the clipboard with a URL, allow cross-site scripting attacks, inject arbitrary web script or HTML, obtain sensitive data, conduct DNS rebinding and hijack the camera or microphone while loading a malicious SWF file with the affected plugin.

2. Contributing Factors

These issues can occur in the following releases:

SPARC Platform

• Solaris 10 without patch 125332-04
• OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_103 or earlier
  

x86 Platform

• Solaris 10 without patch 125333-04
  
• OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_103 or earlier

Note 2: Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 are not affected by these issues.

Note 3: OpenSolaris distributions may include additional bug fixes above and beyond the build from which it was derived.  To determine the base build of OpenSolaris, the following command can be used:

    $ uname -v
    snv_86
