Notes:

- Reliably reproduces with latest Adobe Flash Player Projector for Windows and Google Chrome for Windows.

- The out-of-bounds read appears to be caused by an overly large index value (stored in the "EAX" register at the time of the crash) relative to a dynamically allocated buffer pointed to by "ECX".

- The 32-bit value read from the unmapped memory address is in fact a pointer, and is used to immediately read 12 bytes from in one function up the call chain.
