This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Adobe Flash. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the setInterval method.

An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current process.
