Re: [Flashcoders] Flash security issue

2009-08-24 Thread Bill Jones
My apologies for not getting back sooner. I have been pulled away from this
temporarily to put out another fire. But I was wondering if this will work
if the swf calls other swf files and video as well?

Will the wrapper throw off the scope to the other support files?

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash security issue

2009-08-23 Thread Chris Foster
You could also use a standalone webserver - I've used 'Server2Go CD-ROM
Webserver' before, it's quite customisable, and also gets me past all
those annoying security issues.

I like it as a solution because I don't need to do an extra version (as
an .exe) of my projects, and I don't need to force users to change
settings they wouldn't normally need to know about, and my
ExternalInterface interactions will still function as expected.

[Flashcoders] Flash security advisories from U.S. Navy/Marines?

2005-12-02 Thread Merrill, Jason
Anyone know anything about this?  See the report below.  This would
effectively bring our Flash work with the U.S. Navy and Marine Corp to a
screeching halt.  The NMCI gold disk is the standard install of software
for all computers in the Navy and Marines.  Flash 7 was previously
approved - now it looks like they could begin removing it from machines.
It would be a long while before they approve Flash 8.  And we were just
about to propose a Flex option for them too.  :-(

Read below. Security vulnerabilities have been discovered in Flash. I
received notice from Camp Pendleton that NMCI has once again blocked
Flash mobile code from .mil networks. I confirmed with MCNOSC and asked
for the info below. If we haven't already received any calls from anyone
on .mil expressing issue viewing Flash activity on our site, we will
soon. Apparently Macromedia recommends going to Flash Player version 8.
We will meet tomorrow morning at 0930 in the CR to discuss the problem
and alternative solutions. The policy will need to be reinstated by MCEN

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/IMPACT

There are two vulnerabilities that have been identified affecting
Macromedia Flash plug-ins. Macromedia Flash is a widely distributed
application and is used to create simple motion graphics, video and
animation for interactive websites. A plug-in adds a specific feature or
service to a larger system, such as Macromedia Flash. 

The first vulnerability affects the Macromedia Flash Action Define
Function Memory Access plug-in. This plug-in is vulnerable to an input
validation error, which is when data that's entered exceeds the accepted
boundaries of the application. This violation causes the application to
crash, creating a Denial of Service (DoS). 

The second vulnerability affects the Macromedia Flash Array Index Memory
Access plug-in. This plug-in is also vulnerable to an input validation
error, except it is exploited by entering non-standard code into the
application causing it to crash, creating the DoS. This occurs when an
intruder would entice a user to download the malicious code.

These vulnerabilities could result in an intruder gaining full access,
executing non-standard code or causing a DoS.

Macromedia Flash 6 and 7 are affected by both these vulnerabilities.

The JTF-GNO has not received any reports of DoD incidents in regard to
these vulnerabilities. However, a public Proof of Concept is currently
circulating in the wild.  

TECHNICAL OVERVIEW

Macromedia Flash ActionDefineFunction Memory Access Vulnerability and
Macromedia Flash Array Index Memory Access Vulnerability

The Flash plug-in is vulnerable to an input validation error that may be
exploited to execute arbitrary code or carry out a Denial of Service
(DoS) attack.  These vulnerabilities 

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash security advisories from U.S. Navy/Marines?

2005-12-02 Thread Chris Wilson
The vulnerabilities were reported on Bugtraq
(http://search.securityfocus.com/swsearch?query=macromediasbm=%2Fsubmit=Se
arch%21metaname=alldocsort=swishlastmodified) a couple weeks ago.  The
vulnerabilities involve an attacker creating a malicious .swf file and
tricking a user into downloading it, similar to a web site tricking a user
into downloading a virus.  

If you're creating a Flash application/animation for a customer, though,
it's obviously not malicious, and thus the application itself is not
susceptible to the attack.  The problem will be political, though,
convincing your DoD customer your application isn't vulnerable.

Of course, the reason to ban Flash player is less about interfacing with
your benign application, and more about worrying that a user will
inadvertently connect to another site that *does* have a malicious .swf
file.  The bug is in the Flash player, and can lead to compromise of the
client's system.
