Macromedia was recently informed of a potential security issue with the Macromedia Flash Player, whereby a Macromedia Flash (SWF) file could be handcoded to send more information to a user's machine than the file indicates is being sent. At the present time, the security issue is entirely theoretical, but Macromedia takes security seriously and is working to ensure that this reported issue, called a "buffer overflow error," is appropriately addressed as soon as possible. It is important to note that no known examples of this buffer overflow error exist.
