FlashPlayer 27.0.0.183.exe installer trying to access Lsass.exe

During FlashPlayer 27.0.0.183 silence install we noticed the installer trying to access memory allocated by the lsass.exe process calling the "NtReadVirtualMemory" command. Have any of you noticed this behavior?, even better, can an Adobe specialist detail why the install is doing this?

Thank you.

    Can you provide some additional details, like the version of Windows and variant of Flash Player we're talking about (I'm assuming Active X), and the method you used to discover this?

    FlashPlayer AX is InstallAX.27.0.0.183.exe  deployed via SCCM

    Specifically, what AV product?  I just want to reproduce it with a known-pristine copy of Flash Player so that I can confirm that it's a false positive.
