Adobe Flash Player before 11.7.700.269 and the matching 11.8 to 12.0 builds free the same memory twice, so crafted content runs the attacker's code. Flash is discontinued.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Remove Flash Player — it reached end of life in 2020 and no fix exists; any machine still carrying it should be cleaned up.
