EPSS Score15.1%

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) estimates a 15.1% chance this CVE is exploited in the wild within the next 30 days — higher than 97% of all CVEs. It complements CVSS: a high EPSS on a mid-severity CVE can still be urgent.

Adobe Flash Player does not properly restrict discovery of memory addresses, which allows attackers to bypass the address space layout randomization (ASLR) protection mechanism.

Required Action
The impacted product is end-of-life and should be disconnected if still in use.

Description

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.
