This update fixes several vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player. These vulnerabilities are detailed on the Adobe security page APSB12-14, listed in the References section.
Several security flaws were found in the way flash-plugin displayed certain SWF content. An attacker could use these flaws to create a specially-crafted SWF file that would cause flash-plugin to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when the victim loaded a page containing the specially-crafted SWF content. (CVE-2012-2034, CVE-2012-2035, CVE-2012-2036, CVE-2012-2037, CVE-2012-2039)
