Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →The exploit delivers a malicious SWF file via HTTP with Content-Type 'application/x-shockwave-flash' and Cache-Control/Pragma no-cache headers; detect HTTP responses serving .swf files with these no-cache directives from exploit kit infrastructure. ↗
- →The exploit is triggered by manipulating the 'width' attribute of a ShaderJob after starting it with the same Bitmap object as both src and destination; look for ActionScript/SWF content that sets up ShaderJob with identical src/destination Bitmap objects. ↗
- →CVE-2015-3090 was exploited in the wild by the Angler Exploit Kit; correlate Flash exploit activity with Angler EK network indicators. ↗
- →The Metasploit module targets x86 architecture on Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1 (IE11 or Firefox) and Linux (Firefox); scope detections to 32-bit Flash processes in these browser/OS combinations for this CVE. ↗
- ·Affected versions span a wide range: Flash Player before 13.0.0.289, 14.x–17.x before 17.0.0.188 (Windows/OS X), before 11.2.202.460 (Linux), and Adobe AIR/AIR SDK/AIR SDK & Compiler before 17.0.0.172; ensure version checks cover all branches. ↗
- ·CVE-2015-3090 is a distinct vulnerability from CVE-2015-3078, CVE-2015-3089, and CVE-2015-3093, all fixed in APSB15-09; do not conflate detection signatures across these four CVEs. ↗

This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability related to the ShaderJob workings on
Adobe Flash Player. The vulnerability happens when trying to apply a Shader setting up the
same Bitmap object as src and destination of the ShaderJob. Modifying the "width" attribute
of the ShaderJob after starting the job it's possible to create a buffer overflow condition
where the size of the destination buffer and the length of the copy are controlled. This
module has been tested successfully
