Adobe's Latest Zero-Day Exploit Repurposed, Targeting Adult Websites
MojoKid writes Adobe issued a patch for bug CVE-2015-0311, one that exposes a user's browser to become vulnerable to code injection, and the now infamous Angler EK (Exploit Kit). To fall victim to this kind of attack, all someone needs to do is visit a website with compromised Flash files, at which point the attacker can inject code and utilize Angler EK, which has proven to be an extremely popular tool over the past year. This particular version of Angler EK is different, however. For starters, it makes use of obfuscated JavaScript and attempts to detect virtual machines and anti-virus products. Its target audience is also rather specific: porn watchers. According to FireEye, which has researched the CVE-2015-0311 vulnerability extensively, this exploit has reached people via banner ads on popular adult websites. It was also noted that even a top 1000 website was affected, so it's not as though victims are surfing to the murkiest depths of the web to come in contact with it.
Seriously, who even sees ads anymore?
I am not your blowing wind, I am the lightning.
Selecting "automatically update" doesn't actually automatically update. It just causes it to complain that an update is available every time you reboot and/or log on.
Maybe if Adobe fixed this, there wouldn't be so many success Flash-based attacks.
I block ads on ALL websites.
And Pornhub displays a message saying:
You have AdBlock enabled. Adblock is known to cause issues with site functionality. If you are experiencing any issues, please try disabling the extension.
HAH!
They're infecting our porn now? The bastards!
This is very serious. We're probably all infected.
... About Adobe's plug-in.
How come such a relatively simple files - something that essentially plays media content - continues to be such a hot-bed of vulnerabilities. And not just bugs, but zero-day exploits too. Do I need a tinfoil hat? Or is it just a tad suspicious that this one product continues to have so many vulnerabilities found in it. After all this time. After all these previous bugs.
Or is it the case that this is just yet another vector sponsored by the likes of the NSA or others, to infect machines of potential targets?
This isn't an attempt to be flippant or to trash-talk Adobe. This is a serious question asked of a well-established software house and what must by now be one of the most heavily-scrutinised software packages in widespread use. Can anyone out these with specific knowledge of this product give us any insight as to why it is so regularly found to contain exploits? If we could look at the defect-per-thousand-lines-of-code, I am guessing that Adobe's products must be the worst in the industry... Can that really be the case?
Can't launch antivirus scan... FAP... I have got my hands full... FAP... FAP....
Which is why the Adobe Flash installer also include McAfee anti-virus as a courtesy.

It's galling, isn't it? "We know our software's as safe on the unprotected web as a Craigslist hookup, so be sure to keep this software rubber handy." And it might not be so insulting if McAfee was good at anything besides eating hardware resources...
It's a programming language interpreter written by a graphics company. What could possibly go right? No tin foil hat needed; security is nowhere in their corporate mindset.
I'll have you know I don't run AV and I have never gotten a virus on my OS/2 system using Lynx.
"How come such a relatively simple files - something that essentially plays media content - continues to be such a hot-bed of vulnerabilities".
Flash didn't start out as a media player, per se, but an interactive presentation layer for animations and for a while imagined itself as browser-independent web based user interface programming language.
So it is a complex unwieldy beast.

Its target audience is all-encompassing: porn watchers. FTFY.
So do action shots of me in my Captain Cocktastic costume (girlfriend's crotchless panties, Captain America helmet, red cape, and big, hairy winter boots), leaping to the attack over a suspiciously-shaped beanbag chair, constitute pornography, comedy or educational material?
If the first is true, should I worry that I may fall victim to this security threat should the pictures accidentally become public?
I've calculated my velocity with such exquisite precision that I have no idea where I am.

Maybe Mozilla will create a better version of Flash to replace this shitty one Adobe plagues us with, and it will actually be cross-browser in the process. I'm sick of Adobe hugging Google with both arms, and leaving NPAPI and Linux support in the lurch.
Is there a preference or a killbit to block McAfee from hitching a ride? Java's installer lets you set a registry key to suppress the Ask.com toolbar offer from appearing, would be nice to see something similar for Flash.

For disrupting society and ruining everyone's day. Or is that a fake crime we only use to crack down on poor people and minorities?
So the summary says that this thing targets porn watchers specifically, but I couldn't find any stats on what percentage of the total net population that is. Does anyone have any data?
A republic cannot succeed till it contains a certain body of men imbued with the principles of justice and honour.
So if I make all my computers look like they are running as a virtual machine, I'm safe from this exploit?

Youtube just switched to HTML5 video by default, so perhaps we can uninstall Flash for good now!

The advertisers don't seem to realize that the harder that they try to get our attention via more and more garish, disgusting, crap that they try to shove in our faces on web pages, the more people will decide to block ads and scripts etc... on web pages. People go to web sites to see content, not to be distracted by ads. People do not go to web sites to have malware, spyware, or crapware installed on their computers. I bought my computer. It mine. I and I ALONEwill control what is installed on it, what it displays, and I WILL NOT let it be used to spy on me for the profit of others! The same applied to anything else that I buy. While some corporations and government agencies want to make it so that THEY own what I buy, that will NEVER happen as far as I am concerned.

FREE & adds speed, security, + reliability, doing more with less, more efficiently vs. addons + fixes DNS' redirect security issues:
---
A.) Hosts do more than:
1.) AdBlock ("souled-out" 2 Google/Crippled by default http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/... )
2.) Ghostery (Advertiser owned) - "Fox guards henhouse" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G...
3.) Request Policy -> http://yro.slashdot.org/commen...
B.) Hosts add reliability vs. downed/redirected dns (& overcome site redirects e.g. /. beta).
C.) Hosts secure vs. malicious domains too -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... w/ less "moving parts" complexity
D.) Hosts files yield more:
1.) Speed (adblock & hardcodes fav sites - faster than remote dns)
2.) Security (vs. malicious domains serving malcontent + block spam/phish & trackers)
3.) Reliability (vs. downed, Kaminsky redirected (99% ISP DNS' = unpatched vs. it), DGA, Fastflux, & dynDNS botnets)
4.) Anonymity (vs. dns request logs + dnsbl's).
---
* Hosts do more w/ less (1 file) @ faster levels (ring 0) vs redundant inefficient addons (slowing slower ring 3 browsers) via filtering 4 the IP stack (coded in C, loads w/ os, & 1st net resolver queried w\ 45++ yrs.of optimization).
* Addons = more complex + slow browsers in messagepassing (use a few concurrently & see) & are nullified by native browser methods - It's how Clarityray's destroying Adblock.
* Addons slowup slower usermode browsers layering on more - & bloat RAM consumption + excessive cpu use too (4++gb extra in FireFox https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth...)
(Instead, work w/ a more capable native kernelmode part you already have - hosts (An integrated part of the ip stack))

13.) Speed up websurfing by adblocks & hardcoded fav. sites
14.) Work on ANY webbound app (think stand-alone email programs) multiplatform also.

Spam? Useful fact based efficacy's more than you did http://it.slashdot.org/comment... Must be you wish you were apk creating things like that program but you just plain can't cut that level of expertise, skills, and knowledge he posesses for creating a useful product that does what he says it does for more speed, security, reliability, and even anonymity. Where's yours that's better? It's not and won't ever be. You're off topic as well since it's about the best the likes of you ever has.
@Anonymous: "How come such a relatively simple files - something that essentially plays media content - continues to be such a hot-bed of vulnerabilities. And not just bugs, but zero-day exploits too."
These are not vulnerabilities in Adobe's plug-in, these are defects in the underlying platform, the name of which must never be mentioned on slashdot.
Alex, your multiple repostings of identical content is spam.
I have used your software. It works as advertised. However, it doesn't justify multiple copies of the same message in the same thread. That doesn't do anything except make people tune you out as "mere noise" even if what you have to contribute might not be.
Honestly.
And you don't have to talk about yourself in the third person. OK?
Peace.

And HOSTS files can't block inlined advertising (of which your spamvertising posts are a great example), whereas adblockers can do that effortlessly.
Go get some help. You need it. I await your replies where you pretend to be a whole different bunch of people all agreeing that I'm some sort of messed up lunatic. Maybe you'll link to some of my comments and you and your made-up friends will judge me on them? I can't wait!
Microsoft tried to implement a system where sites and advertisers are NOT anonymous and hence responsible for their content, as a subset of the web, the world went crazy and MS abandoned the idea. IMO users should be anonymous, but sites and advertisers should not be. Also, the site doesn't mention you should have 16.0.0.296 to be safe, the linked article does.
I'd do the same as apk reposting when someone downmod bombs me for no reason constantly.
Ads served on same server don't pay. Get real. He doesn't need help. His points stand strong.
Score APK = 16, Dave420 = 0 (as usual): Your "so-called 'point'" = b.s. - mine are unscathed as usual (since you're unable to validly prove me wrong, obviously).
Clue/New NEWS/NewsFlash:
Ads served up that way aren't paying ads, & thus as such, are such a TINY majority it's not funny (reason being is advertisers do *NOT* trust a webmaster on click counts is why - admen want to SEE the clicks on THEIR end...).
* Your "phantasy" is shot to pieces right there alone...
(While my 16 points are still solid as a rock...)
APK
P.S.=> Your further "delusions of grandeur" @ being a licensed practicing psychiatric pro are another "phantasy" of yours too, dope smoker (yea, I know what the "420" childish crap is) - keep smoking that crap & doing nothing "Dave"... lol! In the meantime, I'll be true to myself, and continue producing excellent wares that give folks more speed, security, reliability, & even anonymity (to an extent only on the latter)... apk
A new setting appeared in Java. It's at the very end of the list of "advanced" settings. "Suppress sponsor offers when installing or updating Java". Now the updater/installer only asks if you want to change the installation directory. While you're in the settings, uncheck "Enable Java content in the browser" and you can have the convenience of slow, ugly Java apps without the security issues or unwanted shitware!

2 points: You're correct my ware works & it's not advertising - I'm NOT "selling" a *damn* thing - it's free...
* Now, on repeat posts? Well - you get the WORMS (obviously advertisers, malware makers/botnet herders, inferior competitors, etc. - et al) downmodding my posts to stop??
SIMPLE - Then, I'll stop reposting. I have no limits... unlike MOST ac posters.
So, until then?
Well - I'll be true to myself & continue (burning the bogus downmodders with NO VALID JUSTIFICATIONS on a technical level proving my points wrong but downmods galore, right out of their effete modpoints + still making my posts visible anyhow & guess what?? I win, as always... lol!)
(Validly PROVE ME WRONG on all of those 16 points, then you'd REALLY be able to stop me - however, you & those downmodding me, obviously can't do that (truth + facts I use are like that - UNASSAILABLE!)).

9.) Protect vs. spam
10.) Protect vs. phishing
11.) Protect vs. bandwidth caps
12.) Get you past a dnsbl
13.) Keep you off dns request logs
14.) Speed up websurfing by adblocks & hardcoded fav. sites
15.) Work on ANY webbound app (think stand-alone email programs) multiplatform.
16.) Give you easily texteditor controlled data for the above
17.) Do all that & block ads (better than addons) more efficiently in cpu cycles + memory usage

P.S.=> ANSWER ="NO" to each above on Ghostery/AdBlock:
Ghostery's Advertiser owned - "A fox guards the henhouse"-> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G...
AdBlock's 4++gb & 100% CPU usage flooring inefficiency -> https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth... + ClarityRay defeats it + it 'souled-out' & is crippled by default paid off to not do its job http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/...
BOTH do far less than hosts do & less efficiently - hosts by way of comparison, do MORE w/ less.
Both add complexity/room for breakdown/exploit + from a slower mode of operations (usermode = more messagepassing overheads vs. hosts in kernelmode).
Hosts start w/ the IP stack before REDUNDANT inefficient addons BEGIN to operate (as 1st resolver queried).

APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ SR-1 32/64-bit:
http://start64.com/index.php?o...
FREE & adds speed, security, + reliability, doing more with less, more efficiently vs. addons + fixes DNS' redirect security issues:
---
A.) Hosts do more than:
1.) AdBlock ("souled-out" 2 Google/Crippled by default http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/... )
2.) Ghostery (Advertiser owned) - "Fox guards henhouse" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G...
3.) Request Policy -> http://yro.slashdot.org/commen...
B.) Hosts add reliability vs. downed/redirected dns (& overcome site redirects e.g. /. beta).
C.) Hosts secure vs. malicious domains too -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... w/ less "moving parts" complexity
D.) Hosts files yield more:
1.) Speed (adblock & hardcodes fav sites - faster than remote dns)
2.) Security (vs. malicious domains serving malcontent + block spam/phish & trackers)
3.) Reliability (vs. downed, Kaminsky redirected (99% ISP DNS' = unpatched vs. it), DGA, Fastflux, & dynDNS botnets)
4.) Anonymity (vs. dns request logs + dnsbl's).

* Hosts do more w/ less (1 file) @ faster levels (ring 0) vs redundant inefficient addons (slowing slower ring 3 browsers) via filtering 4 the IP stack (coded in C, loads w/ os, & 1st net resolver queried w\ 45++ yrs.of optimization).
* Addons = more complex + slow browsers in messagepassing (use a few concurrently & see) & are nullified by native browser methods - It's how Clarityray's destroying Adblock.
* Addons slowup slower usermode browsers layering on more - & bloat RAM consumption + excessive cpu use too (4++gb extra in FireFox https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth...)
(Instead, work w/ a more capable native kernelmode part you already have - hosts (An integrated part of the ip stack))
