   These security issues were fixed:
   - CVE-2015-5123: Use-after-free vulnerability in the BitmapData class in
     the ActionScript 3 (AS3) implementation in Adobe Flash Player allowed
     remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service
     (memory corruption) via crafted Flash content that overrides a valueOf
     function (bsc#937752).
   - CVE-2015-5122: Use-after-free vulnerability in the DisplayObject class
     in the ActionScript 3 (AS3) implementation in Adobe Flash Player allowed
     remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service
     (memory corruption) via crafted Flash content that leverages improper
     handling of the opaqueBackground property (bsc#937752).
