HTTP: Adobe Flash Player iExternalizable Interface readExternal Method Type Confusion
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Adobe Flash player. The vulnerability is due to the readExternal method enforced by the iExternalizable interface being treated as a function by the AVM despite the identifier "readExternal" being overwritten. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.
