Adobe Flash CS3 Professional FLA File Parsing Multiple Local Code
Execute Vulnerabilities
by cocoruder(frankruder@hotmail.com)
http://ruder.cdut.net
Summary:
More than three local code execute vulnerabilities exist in Adobe
Flash CS3 Professional while it is parsing FLA files. An attacker who
successfully exploit these vulnerabilities can run arbitrary code on
the affected system.
Affected Software Versions:
Adobe Flash CS3 Professional 9.0
Macromedia Flash MX 2004
Details:
All these vulnerabilities are due to the parser does not handle
the malformed FLA file accurately, by changing value of some special
addresses in normal FLA file, it can result in some unexpected errors
at "call" instruction, the following is one of the situations:
eax=00000000 ebx=00000000 ecx=41414141 edx=00000000 esi=08feac38 edi=0012eb2c
eip=00943502 esp=0012e15c ebp=08feac3c iopl=0 nv up ei pl nz na pe nc
cs=001b ss=0023 ds=0023 es=0023 fs=003b gs=0000 efl=00250206
*** ERROR: Symbol file could not be found. Defaulted to export

Flash_unprepped!std::basic_istream<char,std::char_traits<char>
>::basic_istream<char,std::char_traits<char> >+0x3d778a (0094352a)
It is confirmed that at least one of them can be written
successful working exploits for, on the other hand, because the FLA
file can not be loaded remotely, which can reduce the threat of these
vulnerabilities.
Vendor Response:
Adobe has replied me that they will fix these vulnerabilities in
the next major release of Flash Professional, we suggest all of the
Adobe Flash CS3 Professional users do not open the FLA file which are
from distrustful source.
