CVE-2012-4174
Buffer overflow in Adobe Shockwave Player before 11.6.8.638 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-4172, CVE-2012-4173, CVE-2012-4175, and CVE-2012-5273.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (9.57%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
