CVE-2007-6637
(Links to External Site)

Description:
Adobe Flash content on numerous web sites contain input validation vulnerabilities. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks. [Editor's note: This is not a vulnerability in Flash player.]
Some Adobe Flash content ('.swf' files) may not properly filter HTML code from user-supplied input before displaying the input. A remote user can create a specially crafted URL that, when loaded by a target user, will cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the target user's browser. The code will originate from the site hosting the Adobe Flash content and will run in the security context of that site. As a result, the code will be able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.
Pre-generated SWF files distributed with Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 and Adobe Acrobat Connect are affected. Other SWF files may also be affected.
These vulnerabilities were reported in a pending book by Rich Cannings of Google and Himanshu Dwivedi and Zane Lackey of iSEC Partners.
[Editor's note: This is not a vulnerability in Flash Player, per se. Because the issues may numerous web sites, the issue is reported here so that content creators can analyze their code for input validation flaws.]

Impact:
A remote user can access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site hosting the Adobe Flash content, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.

3. Description:
The flash-plugin package contains a Firefox-compatible Adobe Flash Player
Web browser plug-in.
Several input validation flaws were found in the way Flash Player displayed
certain content. These may have made it possible to execute arbitrary code
on a victim's machine, if the victim opened a malicious Adobe Flash file.
(CVE-2007-0071, CVE-2007-6019)
A flaw was found in the way Flash Player established TCP sessions to remote
hosts. A remote attacker could, consequently, use Flash Player to conduct a
DNS rebinding attack. (CVE-2007-5275, CVE-2008-1655)
A flaw was found in the way Flash Player restricted the interpretation and
usage of cross-domain policy files. A remote attacker could use Flash
Player to conduct cross-domain and cross-site scripting attacks.
(CVE-2007-6243, CVE-2008-1654)
A flaw was found in the way Flash Player interacted with web browsers. An
attacker could use malicious content presented by Flash Player to conduct a
cross-site scripting attack. (CVE-2007-6637)
All users of Adobe Flash Player should upgrade to this updated package,
which contains Flash Player version 9.0.124.0 and resolves these issues.
