CVE-2013-0643
Adobe Flash Player Incorrect Default Permissions Vulnerability
Does this matter?
Known to be exploited in the wild (CISA KEV, CISA remediation deadline 8 October 2024). Treat as an emergency change: patch or isolate now, then hunt for prior compromise.
Description
The Firefox sandbox in Adobe Flash Player before 10.3.183.67 and 11.x before 11.6.602.171 on Windows and Mac OS X, and before 10.3.183.67 and 11.x before 11.2.202.273 on Linux, does not properly restrict privileges, which makes it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted SWF content, as exploited in the wild in February 2013.
