Adobe Flash Player 10.2.153.1 SWF Memory Corruption Vulnerability

Description

This module exploits a vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player that was discovered, and has been exploited actively in the wild. By embedding a specially crafted .swf file, Adobe Flash crashes due to an invalid use of an object type, which allows attackers to overwrite a pointer in memory, and results arbitrary code execution. Please note for IE 8 targets, Java Runtime Environment must be available on the victim machine in order to work properly.

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use exploit/windows/browser/adobe_flashplayer_flash10o
msf exploit(adobe_flashplayer_flash10o) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(adobe_flashplayer_flash10o) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(adobe_flashplayer_flash10o) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(adobe_flashplayer_flash10o) > exploit

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
