Memory corruption in Adobe Flash Player and authplay.dll
CVE-2010-2884 is a memory-corruption vulnerability affecting Adobe Flash Player 10.1.82.76 and earlier on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris, Flash Player 10.1.92.10 on Android, and the bundled Flash component (authplay.dll) in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.4 and 8.x before 8.2.5 on Windows and Mac OS X. The issue allows a remote attacker to trigger memory corruption via unspecified vectors, leading to arbitrary code execution or application crash/denial of service. The vulnerability was exploited in the wild in September 2010. Because the vulnerable Flash runtime was also embedded in Reader and Acrobat through authplay.dll, patching standalone Flash Player alone was not sufficient to remediate exposure in those products.
