Noroxi assessment

Priority: Plan (action score 58/100)

  • A ready-made attack module is public (Metasploit); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (Exploit-DB); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 69.6% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 99.3% of all records.
  • Fixed version: acroread (Red Hat:rhel_extras:4) 0:9.4.1-1.el4; acroread-plugin (Red Hat:rhel_extras:4) 0:9.4.1-1.el4; flash-plugin (Red Hat:rhel_extras:4) 0:9.0.289.0-1.el4.

Add it to your regular patch cycle. Upgrade to acroread (Red Hat:rhel_extras:4) 0:9.4.1-1.el4; acroread-plugin (Red Hat:rhel_extras:4) 0:9.4.1-1.el4; flash-plugin (Red Hat:rhel_extras:4) 0:9.0.289.0-1.el4 or later.

Adobe Flash Player before 9.0.289.0 and 10.x before 10.1.102.64 on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris and 10.1.95.1 on Android, and authplay.dll (aka AuthPlayLib.bundle or libauthplay.so.0.0.0) in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x through 9.4, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via crafted SWF content, as exploited in the wild in October 2010.
