• → CVE-2015-5130 is triggered via AS2 MovieClip.scrollRect property assignment with a crafted Rectangle object whose valueOf callback frees the MovieClip (use-after-free). Look for AS2 SWF files that assign a custom object with a valueOf override to MovieClip.scrollRect. ↗
• → The exploit pattern involves creating a TextField at the same depth as the targeted MovieClip inside a valueOf callback during scrollRect assignment, which triggers the free. Detect SWFs containing AS2 code that calls createTextField inside a valueOf function used as a Rectangle property. ↗
• → The crash/exploitation occurs at the instruction referencing freed memory after xfetchRectangleProperties executes AS2 callbacks; the bad pointer dereference is at [eax+310h] with eax=0. This can be used as a crash signature in Flash Player 17.0.0.169 standalone. ↗

• · The vulnerability affects Adobe Flash Player before 18.0.0.232 (Windows/OS X) and before 11.2.202.508 (Linux); the PoC was developed and confirmed on Flash 17.0.0.169 on Windows 7 SP1 with Chrome stable 42.0.2311.90. ↗
• · CVE-2015-5130 is one of multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities patched in the same Flash update; it is distinct from CVE-2015-5127, CVE-2015-5134, CVE-2015-5539, CVE-2015-5540, CVE-2015-5550, CVE-2015-5551, CVE-2015-5556, CVE-2015-5557, CVE-2015-5559, CVE-2015-5561, CVE-2015-5563, CVE-2015-5564, and CVE-2015-5565. ↗
