The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-94. The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Adobe Flash Player before 10.0.42.34 and Adobe AIR before 1.5.3 might allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, related to a "data injection vulnerability."

The weakness was published 12/08/2009 by Manuel Caballero (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at us-cert.gov. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2009-3796 since 10/26/2009. The attack may be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available. The attack technique deployed by this issue is T1059 according to MITRE ATT&CK.
