Vulnerability Details

Macromedia Flash Player Vulnerabilities:
CVE-2006-3311, CVE-2006-3014, CVE-2006-3587, CVE-2006-3588 and CVE-2006-4640

  Several remote code execution vulnerabilities exist in Macromedia Flash
  Player from Adobe because of the way that it handles Flash Animation (SWF)
  files. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by constructing a
  specially crafted Flash Animation (SWF) file that could potentially allow
  remote code execution if a user visited a Web site containing the specially
  crafted SWF file. The specially crafted SWF file could also be sent as an
  e-mail attachment. A user would only be at risk if opening this e-mail
  attachment. An attacker who successfully exploited these vulnerabilities
  could take complete control of an affected system.
