CVE-2016-1019 affects Adobe Flash Player 21.0.0.197 and earlier, allowing remote attackers to crash the application or potentially execute arbitrary code. The underlying vulnerable function and precise defect are unspecified. Exploit code was present in the wild by March 31, 2016, and exploitation was observed in Magnitude and Nuclear exploit-kit activity. Delivery mechanisms included malicious web content and embedded Flash objects in crafted Microsoft Word documents. The observed Magnitude implementation successfully exploited Flash Player 20.0.0.306, while a mitigation introduced in 21.0.0.182 appeared to prevent that implementation from working; this did not establish that the underlying vulnerability was fixed.
