Adobe Flash Player before 18.0.0.232 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.508 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 18.0.0.199, Adobe AIR SDK before 18.0.0.199, and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 18.0.0.199 allow attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging an unspecified "type confusion," a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-5554, CVE-2015-5555, and CVE-2015-5558.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE is a 2015 Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR flaw that could let an attacker run arbitrary code through a type-confusion issue. Business urgency depends on whether affected Flash Player, AIR, AIR SDK, or AIR SDK & Compiler versions still exist on endpoints, kiosks, legacy applications, or build systems. Exposure is most likely where legacy Adobe Flash Player or Adobe AIR runtimes remain installed. The provided CVE data does not identify specific downstream products beyond Adobe Flash Player, AIR, AIR SDK, and AIR SDK & Compiler. Treat this as a high-priority legacy technology cleanup issue. The vulnerability allows code execution, but the main decision point is whether affected Adobe runtimes still exist in the environment. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Flash Player and AIR components to fixed versions or later where still present.; Remove obsolete Flash Player or AIR components that are no longer required.; Check Adobe APSB15-19 and operating-system vendor advisories for supported remediation guidance..
