Description Tomas Hoger 2008-10-15 16:29:46 UTC 
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2008-4546 to the following vulnerability:

Adobe Flash Player 9.0.45.0, 9.0.112.0, 9.0.124.0, and 10.0.12.10
allows remote web servers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
dereference and browser crash) by returning a different response when
an HTTP request is sent a second time, as demonstrated by two
responses that provide SWF files with different SWF version numbers.
