Descriptions

Adobe Shockwave Player before 11.5.8.612 does not properly validate offset values in the rcsL RIFF chunks of (1) .DIR and (2) .DCR Director movies, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted movie.

Adobe Shockwave Player anterior a v11.5.8.612 no valida correctamente valores de offset (desplazamiento de pedazo) en el rcsL RIFF manipulado de (1) .DIR y (2) películas .DCR de Director, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria dinámica) o ejecutar código de su elección a través de una película manipulada.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of the Adobe Shockwave Player. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of the rcsL RIFF chunk within director files of extension DIR or DCR. While parsing this undocumented structure, the application blindly trusts an offset value and uses it while operating on heap memory. An attacker can abuse this to corrupt a function pointer which can lead to arbitrary code execution under the context of the user running the web browser.
