Descriptions

Adobe Flash Player before 18.0.0.232 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.508 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 18.0.0.199, Adobe AIR SDK before 18.0.0.199, and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 18.0.0.199 allow attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging an unspecified "type confusion," a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-5555, CVE-2015-5558, and CVE-2015-5562.

Vulnerabilidad en Adobe Flash Player en versiones anteriores a 18.0.0.232 en Windows y OS X y versiones anteriores a 11.2.202.508 en Linux, en Adobe AIR en versiones anteriores a 18.0.0.199, Adobe AIR SDK en versiones anteriores a 18.0.0.199 y Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler en versiones anteriores a 18.0.0.199, permite a atacantes ejecutar código arbitrario mediante el aprovechamiento de un ataque 'type confusion' no especificado, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2015-5555, CVE-2015-5558 y CVE-2015-5562.

If XMLSocket connect is called on an object that already has a destroy function set, such as a BitmapData object, the method will set the user data of that object, but not clear the destroy function. This leads to type confusion when the user data is freed during garbage collection.
