Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Adobe Flash Player versions 23.0.0.207 and earlier Adobe Flash Player versions 11.2.202.644 and earlier

Description The issue is related to an exploitable use after free vulnerability in the NetConnection class when handling an attached script object. This could lead to arbitrary code execution if successfully exploited. The vulnerability is associated with the use of memory after it has been freed, allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code by accessing an attached script object.

Recommendations For Adobe Flash Player versions 23.0.0.207 and earlier, update to a version later than 23.0.0.207 to resolve the issue. For Adobe Flash Player versions 11.2.202.644 and earlier, update to a version later than 11.2.202.644 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the NetConnection class until a patch is available.
