CVE-2011-0611 is a client-side memory corruption vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player and in the Authplay component used by Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat to process embedded Flash content. Affected products include Adobe Flash Player before 10.2.154.27 on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris, 10.2.156.12 and earlier on Android, Adobe AIR before 2.6.19140, and vulnerable Authplay builds in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x and 10.x. The flaw was exploited through crafted Flash content, including Flash embedded in PDF and Microsoft Office documents. Available technical characterization ties the issue to a size inconsistency in a group of included constants and object type confusion involving ActionScript behavior and Date objects, resulting in memory corruption that can be driven to arbitrary code execution or application crash. The vulnerability was actively exploited in the wild in 2011.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (adobe_flashplayer_flash10o.rb) that exploits a memory corruption vulnerability (CVE-2011-0611) in Adobe Flash Player 10.2.153.1. The exploit is delivered via a malicious SWF file served by an HTTP server, targeting users running vulnerable versions of Internet Explorer (6, 7, 8) on Windows XP SP3, Vista, or 7. The module uses JavaScript heap spraying and, for some targets, ROP chains to bypass mitigations. The payload is customizable and allows for arbitrary code execution in the context of the browser process. The module references external endpoints for the Flash Player ActiveX control and plugin page, and serves the malicious SWF file to the victim. The exploit is operational and requires the victim to visit a malicious web page with a vulnerable browser and Flash Player version.
