| Detailed Description |
A version of Macromedia Flash Player before version 9.0 has been installed on the host. Macromedia Flash Player versions prior to 9.0 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code, caused by multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the way that the Flash Player handles data contained within the Flash (SWF) file. 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.
