The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200801-07 (Adobe Flash Player: Multiple vulnerabilities)
Flash contains a copy of PCRE which is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow (GLSA 200711-30, CVE-2007-4768).
Aaron Portnoy reported an unspecified vulnerability related to input validation (CVE-2007-6242).
Jesse Michael and Thomas Biege reported that Flash does not correctly set memory permissions (CVE-2007-6246).
Dan Boneh, Adam Barth, Andrew Bortz, Collin Jackson, and Weidong Shao reported that Flash does not pin DNS hostnames to a single IP addresses, allowing for DNS rebinding attacks (CVE-2007-5275).
David Neu reported an error withing the implementation of the Socket and XMLSocket ActionScript 3 classes (CVE-2007-4324).
Toshiharu Sugiyama reported that Flash does not sufficiently restrict the interpretation and usage of cross-domain policy files, allowing for easier cross-site scripting attacks (CVE-2007-6243).
Rich Cannings reported a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the way the 'asfunction:' protocol was handled (CVE-2007-6244).
Toshiharu Sugiyama discovered that Flash allows remote attackers to modify HTTP headers for client requests and conduct HTTP Request Splitting attacks (CVE-2007-6245).
Impact :
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file (usually in a web browser), possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the Adobe Flash Player. The attacker could also cause a user's machine to establish TCP sessions with arbitrary hosts, bypass the Security Sandbox Model, obtain sensitive information, port scan arbitrary hosts, or conduct cross-site-scripting attacks.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
