http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2007-2500

"server/parser/sprite_definition.cpp in GNU Gnash (aka GNU Flash Player) 0.7.2
allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large number of
SHOWFRAME elements within a DEFINESPRITE element, which triggers memory
corruption and enables the attacker to call free with an arbitrary address,
probably resultant from a buffer overflow."

Next release is due soon. I asked the list about a patch and whether 
it was fixed in HEAD.
