Adobe Flash Player versions 28.0.0.161 and earlier have an exploitable use after free vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.

Versions of Adobe Flash Player prior to 29.0.0.113 are unpatched, and therefore affected by multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities that allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2018-4919, CVE-2018-4920)
