Adobe Flash Player unspecified HTTP response splitting
| adobe-unspecified-response-splitting (39134) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Adobe Flash Player is vulnerable to HTTP response splitting attacks, caused by improper validation of input. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability and modify HTTP headers using an unspecified parameter in a specially-crafted URL to cause the server to return a split response, once the URL is clicked. This would allow the attacker to perform further attacks, such as Web cache poisoning, cross-site scripting, and possibly obtain sensitive information.
