CVE-2015-3113 is a heap-based buffer overflow in Adobe Flash Player that permits remote arbitrary code execution. It affects versions before 13.0.0.296 and versions 14.x through 18.x before 18.0.0.194 on Windows and OS X, and versions before 11.2.202.468 on Linux. The vulnerable function and precise triggering mechanism are unspecified. The vulnerability was exploited as a zero-day in June 2015, including by APT3 to deliver the Pirpi backdoor, and Adobe patched it on June 23, 2015.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module: 'adobe_flash_nellymoser_bof.rb', which exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player's handling of Nellymoser-encoded audio in FLV files (CVE-2015-3043 and CVE-2015-3113). The exploit targets both Windows and Linux platforms, specifically vulnerable versions of Flash Player running in Internet Explorer or Firefox browsers. The module sets up a browser exploit server that delivers a crafted HTML page, a malicious SWF, and a specially crafted FLV file to the victim. When the victim visits the exploit server with a vulnerable browser and Flash version, the exploit triggers a buffer overflow, allowing arbitrary code execution. The payload is fully customizable via Metasploit, making this a weaponized exploit. The only external endpoint referenced is the official Macromedia Flash ActiveX control CAB file, used for embedding Flash in the generated HTML. The repository is structured as a typical Metasploit module, with all exploit logic contained in a single Ruby file.
