An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-0975 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Adobe Air Desktop Runtime. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-0975/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-0975/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-0975","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-0975/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-0975","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4xrm-7fmv-6pvg","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-0975"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Adobe Flash Player","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code via a use-after-free flaw in the instanceof function of Adobe Flash Player.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"adobe","cpe":[{"product":"air_desktop_runtime","vendor":"adobe"},{"product":"air_sdk","vendor":"adobe"},{"product":"air_sdk_\\\u0026_compiler","vendor":"adobe"},{"product":"flash_player","vendor":"adobe"},{"product":"flash_player_desktop_runtime","vendor":"adobe"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"Use-after-free vulnerability in the instanceof function in Adobe Flash Player before 18.0.0.329 and 19.x and 20.x before 20.0.0.306 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.569 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 20.0.0.260, Adobe AIR SDK before 20.0.0.260, and Adobe AIR SDK \u0026 Compiler before 20.0.0.260 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging improper reference handling, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-0973, CVE-2016-0974, CVE-2016-0982, CVE-2016-0983, and CVE-2016-0984.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-0975","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"adobe:air_desktop_runtime","products":["adobe:air_desktop_runtime","adobe:air_sdk","adobe:air_sdk_\\\u0026_compiler","adobe:flash_player","adobe:flash_player_desktop_runtime"],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-0976"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-0974"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-02-10","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Adobe Flash Player and AIR Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2016-0984","kev_date_added":"2022-05-25","published":"2016-02-10"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Adobe Flash Player Arbitrary Code Execution","id":"CVE-2016-1019","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2016-04-07"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-0564","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-10-15"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4120","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-06-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4121","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-06-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4160","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-06-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4161","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-06-16"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code via a use-after-free flaw in the instanceof function of Adobe Flash Player.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-0975/"}
