Impact |
58 |
====== |
59 |
|
60 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted SWF |
61 |
file, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with |
62 |
the privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of |
63 |
Service via unknown vectors. |
64 |
|
65 |
Workaround |
66 |
