**1.0 Introduction**
Multiple critical vulnerabilities (CVE-2011-0579, CVE-2011-0618, CVE-2011-0619, CVE-2011-0620, CVE-2011-0621, CVE-2011-0622, CVE-2011-0623, CVE-2011-0624, CVE-2011-0625, CVE-2011-0626, CVE-2011-0627) have been identified in Adobe Flash Player 10.2.159.1 and earlier versions (Adobe Flash Player 10.2.154.28 and earlier for Chrome users) for Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Solaris, and Adobe Flash Player 10.2.157.51 and earlier versions for Android.
These vulnerabilities allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable version of Adobe Flash Player. User interaction is required where a user must visits a malicious web site, or opening a PDF, Microsoft Excel (.XLS) or Microsoft Word (.DOC) file, which is embedded with a specially crafted SWF file. This vulnerability would cause the application to crash and could potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.
**2.0 Impact**
By exploiting these vulnerabilities, an attacker could execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Adobe Flash and gain the same privilege as the user. This vulnerability could be exploited to install malware on the user's computer.
