This signature detects attempts to exploit a known flaw in Adobe ActionScript 3. An attack can entice a user to load a Flash file with malicious ActionScript which can result in arbitrary code execution in the victim's browser.
Adobe Flash Player is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
