Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Use-after-free triggered via ActionScript addProperty() on a MovieClip object that already has a watch() callback defined — the watch callback deletes the MovieClip, which is then used after free. ↗
- →Minimal PoC ActionScript pattern to detect in SWF analysis: createEmptyMovieClip + watch + addProperty on the same object — flag SWF files exhibiting this call sequence. ↗
- ·Vulnerability affects Adobe Flash Player 21.0.0.213 and earlier, including Flash libraries embedded in Microsoft Internet Explorer 10/11 and Microsoft Edge (covered under MS16-064 / APSB16-15). ↗
- ·Impact and attack vectors are officially unspecified by Adobe; the underlying mechanism is a use-after-free in the addProperty ActionScript method. ↗
