Can anyone from Macromedia confirm or deny this article?
"As per this article at lwn.net there is a buffer overflow which affects
"All SWF plugins on all platforms" because bounds checking is not being done
on the SWF data. You can use this problem to "execute arbitrary code stored
in the SWF file"."
