Vulnerabilidad de uso después de liberación de memoria en la función LoadVars.decode en Adobe Flash Player en versiones anteriores a 18.0.0.343 y 19.x hasta la versión 21.x en versiones anteriores a 21.0.0.213 en Windows y OS X y en versiones anteriores a 11.2.202.616 en Linux permite a atacantes ejecutar código arbitrario a través de vectores no especificados, una vulnerabilidad diferente de CVE-2016-1011, CVE-2016-1013, CVE-2016-1016 y CVE-2016-1031.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Adobe Flash. 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 handling of LoadVars.decode. The issue lies in the failure to safely hold a reference to arguments during execution of the function. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current process.
