The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers). An example of a network attack is an attacker causing a denial of service by sending a specially crafted TCP packet across a wide area network (e.g., CVE-2004-0230).
Attack Complexity
Low
AC
The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Privileges Required
None
PR
The attacker is unauthenticated prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
Scope
Unchanged
S
An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In the case of a vulnerability in a virtualized environment, an exploited vulnerability in one guest instance would not affect neighboring guest instances.
Confidentiality
High
C
There is total information disclosure, resulting in all data on the system being revealed to the attacker, or there is a possibility of the attacker gaining control over confidential data.
Integrity
High
I
There is a total compromise of system integrity. There is a complete loss of system protection, resulting in the attacker being able to modify any file on the target system.
Availability
High
A
There is a total shutdown of the affected resource. The attacker can deny access to the system or data, potentially causing significant loss to the organization.
VUPEN Security Research - Adobe Flash Player RTMP Data Processing Object
Confusion Code Execution (CVE-2013-2555)
Website : http://www.vupen.com
Twitter : http://twitter.com/vupen
I. BACKGROUND
---------------------
Adobe Flash Player is a cross-platform browser-based application runtime
that delivers viewing of expressive applications, content, and videos
across screens and browsers. It is installed on 98% of computers.
II. DESCRIPTION
---------------------
VUPEN Vulnerability Research Team discovered a critical vulnerability
in Adobe Flash Player.
The vulnerability is caused by an object confusion error when processing
malformed Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) data received during the
initial phase of communication with a server, which could be exploited
by remote attackers to compromise a vulnerable system via a malicious
web page.
III. AFFECTED PRODUCTS
---------------------------
Adobe Flash Player versions prior to 11.7.700.169
IV. Binary Analysis & Exploits/PoCs
---------------------------------------
In-depth technical analysis of the vulnerability and a fully functional
remote code execution exploit are available through the VUPEN BAE
(Binary Analysis & Exploits) portal:
http://www.vupen.com/english/services/ba-index.php
VUPEN Binary Analysis & Exploits Service provides private exploits and
in-depth technical analysis of the most significant public vulnerabilities
based on disassembly, reverse engineering, protocol analysis, and code
audit.
The service allows governments and major corporations to evaluate risks, and
protect infrastructures and assets against new threats. The service also
allows security vendors (IPS, IDS, AntiVirus) to supplement their internal
research efforts and quickly develop both vulnerability-based and
exploit-based signatures to proactively protect their customers from attacks
and emerging threats.
V. VUPEN Threat Protection Program
-----------------------------------
Governments and major corporations which are members of the VUPEN Threat
Protection Program (TPP) have been proactively alerted about the
vulnerability
when it was discovered by VUPEN in advance of its public disclosure, and
have received a detailed attack detection guidance to protect national and
critical infrastructures against potential 0-day attacks exploiting this
vulnerability:
