The dirapi.dll module in Adobe Shockwave Player before 11.5.9.620 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a Director movie with an IFWV chunk with a size field of 0, which is used in the calculation of a file offset and causes invalid data to be used as a loop counter, triggering a heap-based buffer overflow, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-2587 and CVE-2010-2588.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2010-4188 is a memory corruption flaw in Adobe Shockwave Player’s dirapi.dll before 11.5.9.620. A malicious Director movie could crash the player or run attacker-controlled code. The source bundle does not show active exploitation or KEV listing. Exposure is most likely on legacy endpoints or browser environments still running Adobe Shockwave Player before 11.5.9.620 and able to process Director movie content. The provided affected-product metadata is incomplete, but the CVE description names Shockwave Player directly. Treat this as a legacy client-side code execution risk. Priority is highest where Shockwave remains installed on workstations that browse untrusted content or open externally supplied media. No active exploitation is evidenced in the supplied sources. Mitigation focus: Identify systems with Adobe Shockwave Player installed.; Update Shockwave Player to 11.5.9.620 or later where vendor guidance supports it.; Remove or disable Shockwave where it is no longer required..
