Descriptions

iml32.dll in Adobe Shockwave Player before 11.5.7.609 does not validate a certain value from a file before using it in file-pointer calculations, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted .dir (aka Director) file.

iml32.dll en Adobe Shockwave Player en versiones anteriores a la 11.5.7.609 no valida un cierto valor de un archivo antes de usarlo en los cálculos de punteros de ficheros, lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección o provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria) mediante un fichero .dir (también conocido como Director) manipulado.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Adobe Shockwave. User interaction is required in that a target visit a malicious website.
The specific flaw exists within the code responsible for parsing Director files. The vulnerable function is exported as an ordinal from the iml32.dll module. Ordinal 1409 trusts a value from the file as an offset and updates pointers accordingly. By crafting a large enough value and seeking the file pointer past the end of a buffer this can be abused to corrupt heap memory. An attacker can abuse this to execute arbitrary code under the context of the user running the browser.
