Synopsis
========

Background

Description
===========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Adobe Flash Player.
Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted SWF
file using Adobe Flash Player, possibly resulting in execution of
arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of
Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able to bypass
the Same Origin Policy or read the clipboard via unspecified vectors.

Workaround
