Hi Yair,
very nice finding and writeup!
It seems that this category of bugs is going to be more and more discovered.

Thanks for the reference, too! :)

@All, thanks for the feedback! :)

@Stefano, I agree that discoveries of this category of bugs will become more common, as the awareness to them rises.
However, after taking a look at some of the security changes that were applied by Adobe in ActionScript 3 (such as blocking the ability to implicitly use global parameters, a common programming error in AS2), it seems that they are in the right direction. :)
