    the ActionScript 3 (AS3) implementation in Adobe Flash Player allowed
    remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service
    (memory corruption) via crafted Flash content that overrides a valueOf
    function (bsc#937752).
    - CVE-2015-5122: Use-after-free vulnerability in the DisplayObject class
    in the ActionScript 3 (AS3) implementation in Adobe Flash Player allowed
