Out-of-Bounds Read in Adobe Flash Player (CVE-2017-11213)
Summary
Vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player (CVE-2017-11213). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
An issue was discovered in Adobe Flash Player 27.0.0.183 and earlier versions. This vulnerability occurs as a result of a computation that reads data that is past the end of the target buffer due to an integer overflow; the computation is part of the abstraction that creates an arbitrarily sized transparent or opaque bitmap image. The use of an invalid (out-of-range) pointer offset during access of internal data structure fields causes the vulnerability. A successful attack can lead to sensitive data exposure.
