CVE-2014-5333

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Adobe Flash Player versions prior to 13.0.0.241 and 14.x prior to 14.0.0.176 on Windows and OS X and prior to 11.2.202.400 on Linux Adobe AIR versions prior to 14.0.0.178 on Windows and OS X and prior to 14.0.0.179 on Android Adobe AIR SDK versions prior to 14.0.0.178 Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler versions prior to 14.0.0.178

Description The issue exists due to an incomplete fix for a previous vulnerability, allowing remote attackers to conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks against JSONP endpoints and obtain sensitive information. This is achieved by using a crafted OBJECT element with SWF content that satisfies the character-set requirements of a callback API, in conjunction with a manipulation involving a $ (dollar sign) or ( (open parenthesis) character.

Recommendations For Adobe Flash Player versions prior to 13.0.0.241 and 14.x prior to 14.0.0.176 on Windows and OS X and prior to 11.2.202.400 on Linux, update to a version that properly restricts the SWF file format. For Adobe AIR versions prior to 14.0.0.178 on Windows and OS X and prior to 14.0.0.179 on Android, update to a version that properly restricts the SWF file format. For Adobe AIR SDK versions prior to 14.0.0.178, update to a version that properly restricts the SWF file format. For Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler versions prior to 14.0.0.178, update to a version that properly restricts the SWF file format. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the use of SWF content in OBJECT elements to minimize the risk of exploitation.
