Adobe Shockwave is a well known multimedia player developed by Macromedia. There exists a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Adobe Shockwave Player 11.5.2.602 and earlier versions.

The flaw exists due to improper bounds checking when processing Shockwave 3D models. An attacker may exploit this vulnerability by persuading a victim to open specially crafted shockwave file, and possibly execute malicious code or launch further attacks on the target system.
