Some mitigation for this type of exploit exists since Flash 11.6, which introduced a click-to-play feature that requires users to confirm the playback of Flash content embedded in documents when opened in Microsoft Office versions older than Office 2010. If exploited successfully, both vulnerabilities can lead to arbitrary code execution allowing attackers to take control of the affected systems.
A memory corruption flaw tracked as CVE-2013-5332 was also fixed. That CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) ID refers to a type confusion vulnerability fixed in the new version of Flash Player.
