The issue is caused by a heap-based buffer overflow in the dynamic memory of Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Integrated Runtime. This can be exploited by a remote attacker using a specially crafted XML object during a
toString call, allowing the execution of arbitrary code.Recommendations

For Adobe AIR versions prior to 20.0.0.204, update to version 20.0.0.204 or later.
For Adobe AIR SDK versions prior to 20.0.0.204, update to version 20.0.0.204 or later.
For Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler versions prior to 20.0.0.204, update to version 20.0.0.204 or later.
For Adobe Flash Player version prior to 11.2.202.554 on Linux, update to version 11.2.202.554 or later.
