Descriptions

Adobe Flash Player before 18.0.0.255 and 19.x before 19.0.0.226 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.540 on Linux allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging an unspecified "type confusion," a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-7648.

Adobe Flash Player en versiones anteriores a 18.0.0.255 y 19.x en versiones anteriores a 19.0.0.226 en Windows y OS X y en versiones anteriores a 11.2.202.540 en Linux permite a atacantes ejecutar código arbitrario aprovechando una 'confusión de tipos' no especificada, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2015-7648.

If IExternalizable.readExternal is overridden with a value that is not a function, Flash assumes it is a function even though it is not one. This leads to execution of a 'method' outside of the ActionScript object's ActionScript vtable, leading to memory corruption.
