Desbordamiento de buffer basado en pila en Adobe Flash Player anterior a 11.7.700.269 y 11.8.x hasta 12.0.x anterior a 12.0.0.70 en Windows y Mac OS X y anterior a 11.2.202.341 en Linux, Adobe AIR anterior a 4.0.0.1628 en Android, Adobe AIR SDK anterior a 4.0.0.1628, y Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler anterior a 4.0.0.1628 permite a atacantes ejecutar código arbitrario a través de vectores no especificados.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Adobe Flash 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 usage of regular expressions in ActionScript where an expression could overflow a data structure on the stack. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
