Adobe Flash Player DeclareFunction2 Actionscript tag buffer overflow
| adobe-flash-declarefunction2-bo (41717) |  High Risk |
Description:
Adobe Flash Player is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking during the handling of DeclareFunction2 Actionscript tags. By persuading a victim to visit a Web site containing a specially-crafted SWF file, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system with the privileges of the victim or cause the application to crash.
