Buffer overflow in Adobe Flash Player before 18.0.0.232 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.508 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 18.0.0.199, Adobe AIR SDK before 18.0.0.199, and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 18.0.0.199 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-5131 and CVE-2015-5133.

• → Crash occurs at FlashPlayer!WinMainSandboxed+0x57aee (offset 0x0044ae55) on a 'cmp byte ptr [eax+esi],0' instruction — monitor for access violations at this code offset in Flash Player processes. ↗
• → Out-of-bounds read is triggered by a malformed .SWF file; the memory region under ESI at crash time contains file content starting at offset 0x50dda0 of the input file — inspect SWF files for anomalously large index values relative to embedded buffers. ↗
• → The out-of-bounds read is caused by an overly large index value stored in the EAX register relative to a dynamically allocated buffer pointed to by ESI — look for EAX values far exceeding the allocated region size (e.g., EAX=0x6261 against a buffer ending at 0x07374000). ↗
• → Vulnerability reliably reproduces in Adobe Flash Player Projector for Windows and Google Chrome for Windows — prioritize detection on these platforms. ↗

• · The crashing and original sample differ by only 19 bytes — automated file-diff or fuzzing-based detection may need very tight byte-level comparison thresholds for SWF files. ↗
