DESCRIPTION:
Krystian Kloskowski has discovered a vulnerability in Shockwave
Player, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a use-after-free error in an
automatically installed compatibility component as a function in an
unloaded library may be called.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but
requires that a user is tricked into opening the "Shockwave Settings"
window when viewing a web page.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 11.5.9.615. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open the "Shockwave Settings" window when viewing Shockwave
content.
