Impact
Three security vulnerabilities in the Adobe Flash Player product shipped with Solaris 10 may allow remote users who create applications that are viewed with the Flash Player to perform unauthorized actions on the host. These actions may include executing arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the Flash Player, generation of unauthorized HTTP requests from the affected host, or, depending on the browser that is used with the Flash player, unauthorized access to information entered into the affected host via the logging of keystrokes.
