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 13.0.0.281 and 14.x through 17.x before 17.0.0.169 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.457 on Linux does not properly restrict discovery of memory addresses, which allows attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-0357.
