Versions of Adobe AIR earlier than 4.0.0.1390 are unpatched for the following vulnerabilities :- A flaw exists when requesting sites using 'jar:' URIs that enables a context-dependent attacker to bypass 'AllowScriptAccess=never' security protection mechanisms. No further details have been provided by the vendor. (CVE-2014-0491)
