CVE reference:	CVE-2006-3014 CVE-2006-3311 CVE-2006-4640 CVE-2006-6827

Description: Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Adobe Flash Player, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions or compromise a user's system. 1) A boundary error during the handling of strings dynamically generated at runtime can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via an overly long string. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code when e.g. visiting a malicious website. 2) An unspecified error allows bypassing the "allowScriptAccess" option. 3) Using a "Shockwave Flash Object", it is possible to execute Flash files containing JavaScript embedded in Office documents automatically when the Office document is opened. Solution: Update to version 9.0.16.0 or another fixed version (see the vendor advisory for details). Provided and/or discovered by: 1) Stuart Pearson, Computer Terrorism UK Ltd. 2) Reported by the vendor. 3) Debasis Mohanty Changelog: 2006-09-13: Updated advisory with additional information. 2006-09-18: Added link to US-CERT. 2006-09-20: Added link to US-CERT vulnerability note. 2007-01-02: Added CVE reference.
