DIRAPIX.dll in Adobe Shockwave Player before 11.5.8.612 does not properly handle a certain return value associated with the rcsL chunk in a Director movie, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted movie, related to a "pointer offset vulnerability."
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
