http://secunia.com/advisories/32246/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:

http://secunia.com/advisories/product/14231/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Adobe Flash CS3, which
potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors while
processing overly long SWF control parameters. These can be exploited
to cause heap-based buffer overflows via specially crafted SWF files.

NOTE: Reportedly, the vulnerabilities do not affect the Mac version
of Adobe Flash CS3.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted SWF files.

Reportedly, the vulnerabilities do not affect Adobe Flash CS4.
