• → Look for HTTP requests loading a .swf file with a query parameter pointing to a .flv file (pattern: LoadMP42.swf?file=*.flv), which is the PoC delivery mechanism for this H264/MP4 stack corruption exploit. ↗
• → The vulnerability is triggered via a malformed H264/FLV file loaded into Adobe Flash Player, causing stack corruption. Inspect FLV files delivered to Flash Player for anomalous H264 structures. ↗

• · CVE-2016-0967 is one of multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities sharing the same affected version range; the NVD source references CVE-2016-0965 as the primary entry and lists CVE-2016-0967 only as a related/distinct vulnerability — confirm the correct CVE mapping before using these indicators. ↗
• · The PoC exploit requires the malicious FLV file to be served from a remote server; detections should cover both the SWF loader and the FLV payload being fetched over the network. ↗
