Security readout for executives and security teams
This 2011 issue affected Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR. A malicious website, when used through Internet Explorer, could bypass Flash cross-domain policy controls. For executives, the concern is mainly unmanaged legacy endpoints still running the old software versions listed in the CVE. Exposure is most likely on old Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, or Android systems retaining affected Flash Player or AIR versions, especially where Internet Explorer is still usable. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item unless vulnerable Flash/AIR remains in production. Prioritize any internet-browsing endpoints that still support Internet Explorer and the affected versions. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Flash Player and AIR to the fixed versions named in Adobe APSB11-28 or later.; Remove affected Flash Player or AIR installations where they are no longer required.; Follow SUSE, openSUSE, or Gentoo advisories for distribution-managed packages..
