        I read the same thing in their NG forum, news://forums.macromedia.com/macromedia.flash. A TSE there said the worst thing it will do is crash your browser.

            The original bug identifier reported on BugTraq ...

            - The data being accessed is located entirely in a dynamically allocated
            structure in the heap space of the application.
            - The data access is limited to reading the information. At no time is the
            buffer in question ever written to. Neither the heap, nor the stack is
            written to during this processing, and at no time does this lead to the
            execution of arbitrary data as native instructions.
