Signature Detail

HTTP: Adobe Shockwave Director rcsL Chunk Remote Code Execution

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known code execution vulnerability in Adobe Shockwave. It is due to an error while parsing a value from an rcsL RIFF chunk record. This value is used without validation to perform operations on heap memory. By crafting a special value, the file can be manipulated to corrupt a function pointer. A remote attacker can exploit this by enticing a user to process a malicious file. A successful attack can result in remote code execution in the security context of the logged in user.
