CVE-2013-0643Adobe Flash Player — Firefox sandbox permissions too broad

The Firefox sandbox in Adobe Flash Player before 10.3.183.67 and the 11.x builds does not restrict privileges properly, which makes crafted content easier to turn into code execution.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Remove Flash Player — it reached end of life in 2020 and no fix exists; any machine still carrying it should be cleaned up.
