CamSA12-08: Adobe Releases Security Bulletin for Adobe Flash Player (Critical)

I. Overview 

Adobe released security updates for Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.235 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, Adobe Flash Player 11.1.115.8 and earlier versions for Android 4.x, and Adobe Flash Player 11.1.111.9 and earlier versions for Android 3.x and 2.x.

These vulnerabilities allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable version of Adobe Flash Player. User interaction is required where a user must visit a malicious website which is embedded with a specially crafted SWF file. This vulnerability would cause the application to crash and could potentially allow attacker to take control of the affected system.
