KEVAdobe Flash Player ASLR Bypass Vulnerability
Description
Adobe Flash Player does not properly restrict discovery of memory addresses, which allows attackers to bypass the address space layout randomization (ASLR) protection mechanism.
Adobe Flash Player before 13.0.0.262 and 14.x through 16.x before 16.0.0.287 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.438 on Linux does not properly restrict discovery of memory addresses, which allows attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism on Windows, and have an unspecified impact on other platforms, via unknown vectors, as exploited in the wild in January 2015.
