| Detailed Description |
The Windows system has a version of flash player vulnerable to a code execution vulnerability via the SWF file. Macromedia flash player versions prior to 7.0.60.0 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code, caused due to missing validation of the frame type identifier that is read from a SWF file. This value is used as an index in Flash.ocx to reference an array of function pointers. A remote attacker could create a specially-crafted Web site containing a malicious SWF file, which would cause the script to be executed in the victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosted site, once the site is visited.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
