Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Detect calls to AVSS.setSubscribedTags, AVSS.setCuePointTags, or AVSS.setSubscribedTagsForBackgroundManifest from within a custom toString() override on an array element — the exploit triggers the heap overflow by re-invoking setSubscribedTags with a smaller array inside a toString callback. ↗
- →Look for ActionScript instantiation of flash.media.AVSegmentedSource combined with large array allocations (e.g., arrays pushed to 0x100000 elements) followed by setSubscribedTags calls — characteristic of the heap overflow trigger. ↗
- →The vulnerability is a heap overflow (not UAF): a 4*0x100000 byte buffer is allocated, freed, then a 4*4 byte buffer is reallocated, and 0x100000 pointers are written into the 0x10-byte buffer — monitor for anomalous heap allocations in Flash player processes consistent with this pattern. ↗
- →Flag SWF files referencing flash.media.AVSegmentedSource with setSubscribedTags, setCuePointTags, or setSubscribedTagsForBackgroundManifest method calls for further analysis. ↗
- ·The exploit was developed and tested against pepflashplayer.dll version 17.0.0.134 based at 0x10000000; hardcoded offsets (e.g., sub_103255AD, offset 0x54, 0x58) are specific to this base address and version and will differ in other builds. ↗
- ·The vulnerability affects Flash Player before 13.0.0.289 and 14.x–17.x before 17.0.0.188 on Windows/OS X, and before 11.2.202.460 on Linux; Adobe AIR and AIR SDK/Compiler before 17.0.0.172 are also affected. ↗

CVE-2016-3088 activemq: Fileserver web application vulnerability allowing RCE
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in the Apache ActiveMQ Fileserver web application. These are similar to those reported in CVE-2015-1830 and can allow attackers to replace web application files with malicious code and perform remote code execution on the system.
Mitigation:
Users are advised to use other FTP and HTTP based file servers for transferring blob messages. Fileserver web application SHOULD NOT be used in older version of the broker and it should be disabled (it has been disabled by default since 5.12.0). This can be done by removing (commenting out) the following lines from conf\jetty.xml file
