Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed Adobe Flash Player version on Windows
    Open Registry Editor and navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Adobe Flash Player, or run 'Get-ItemProperty' on the Flash Player DLL in System32 or SysWOW64
    Affected if The displayed version is 11.6.602.171 or lower, or matches any of the specific versions listed (11.0, 11.0.1.152, 11.0.1.153, 11.1, 11.1.102.55, 11.1.102.59, 11.1.102.62, 11.1.102.63, 11.1.111.5, 11.1.111.6, 11.1.111.7)
  2. Identify installed Adobe Flash Player version on Mac OS X
    Locate /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash Player and inspect the version file, or check the Flash Player.plugin version via Finder Get Info
    Affected if The version matches any affected version listed for Adobe Flash Player
  3. Identify installed Adobe Flash Player for Android version
    Open Settings > Apps > Adobe Flash Player on the Android device and note the version number
    Affected if The version is 11.1.111.43 or lower, or matches any of the specific Android versions listed (10.1.106.17, 10.2.157.51, 10.3.186.7, 11.0.1.153, 11.1.102.59, 11.1.111.5 through 11.1.111.10)
  4. Identify installed Adobe AIR version on Windows or Mac
    On Windows, check Add/Remove Programs or the AIR application properties; on Mac, inspect /Applications/Adobe AIR Application Installer or the AIR runtime in the system
    Affected if The version is 3.6.0.597 or lower, or matches any of the specific Air versions listed (1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.8.4990, 1.0.4990, 1.1, 1.1.0.5790, 1.5, 1.5.0.7220, 1.5.1, 1.5.1.8210, or any version <= 3.6.0.597)
  5. Identify Adobe AIR SDK or Compiler version
    Check the AIR SDK folder or version file within your development environment, or run 'air -version' from the SDK bin directory if available
    Affected if The SDK version is <= 3.6.0.599 (SDK and Compiler) or <= 3.6.0.597 (SDK only), or matches any of the specific SDK versions listed (3.0.0.4080, 3.1.0.488, 3.2.0.2070, 3.3.0.3650, 3.3.0.3690, 3.4.0.2540, 3.4.0.2710, 3.5.0.600, 3.5.0.880, 3.5.0.890, 3.5.0.1060)
