(SWFTools: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code)

    Integer overflow errors in the 'getPNG()' function in png.c and the
      'jpeg_load()' function in jpeg.c could cause a heap-based buffer
      overflow.
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PNG or
      JPEG file, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the
      privileges of the process, or a Denial of Service condition.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
