NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream flash-plugin package and not the flash-plugin package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Adobe Flash Player before 11.7.700.269 and 11.8.x through 12.0.x before 12.0.0.70 on Windows and Mac OS X and before 11.2.202.341 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 4.0.0.1628 on Android, Adobe AIR SDK before 4.0.0.1628, and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 4.0.0.1628 do not prevent access to address information, which makes it easier for attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via unspecified vectors.
