Adobe Flash Player 11.3 Kern Table Parsing Integer Overflow
Description
This module exploits a vulnerability found in the ActiveX component of Adobe Flash Player before 11.3.300.271. By supplying a specially crafted .otf font file with a large nTables value in the 'kern' header, it is possible to trigger an integer overflow, which results in remote code execution under the context of the user. This vulnerability has also been exploited in the wild in limited targeted attacks. Please note in order to ensure reliability, the exploit is forced to modify your URIPATH parameter to less than 3 characters, which may cause possible URIPATH collisions.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
