Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Adobe Macromedia Flash Player, which could be exploited by attackers to bypass security restrictions or take complete control of an affected system.
The first flaw is due to input validation errors when handling overly long dynamically generated strings, which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a malcious web page.
The second issue is due to an error within the "allowScriptAccess" option, which could be exploited by malicious web sites to bypass security restrictions and conduct cross domain scripting attacks.
The third vulnerability is due to an error in the way the ActiveX control is invoked by Office products, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary Flash code without user interaction when a malicious office document is opened.
