New bullets (CVE-2012-0775 - CVE-2012-1889 - CVE-2012-1876(?) - CVE-2012-4792) in "Cool EK" Weapon
Once again guys behind the Cool EK are using (or trying to use) bullets never seen before in blind mass attack. The brand new one is :
 |
| snipshot from Mitre.org |
"The JavaScript implementation in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.5.1 and 10.x before 10.1.3 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via unspecified vectors." CVE-2012-0775 on mitre.org
Thanks to Cert Lexsi for pointing me to the correct CVE and William Metcalf for confirming it.
After initiating "popular" usage of CVE-2011-3402 (Duqu like font drop), CVE-2012-5076, maybe CVE-2013-0422 ("new year 0 day"), Cool EK has integrated around 11th of January CVE-2012-1889, maybe CVE-2012-1876 (William Metcalf is not 100% sure but says all pieces are here for this CVE ) and maybe CVE-2012-4792.
(working on trying to remove those maybe)

By the way, writing about Cool EK one thing i never noticed before : it's using also the old MDAC.
"его оставили потому как он не крешит браузер, не палится аверами так как нам удалось его вычистить, и на старом ИЕ6 до сих пор работает как надо" written by the author when announcing Blackhole update to 2.0.
"leave him because he does not crash, do not palitsya Avery because we managed to clean up, and the old IE6 is still working as it should"

| Double payload via CVE-2011-3402 - CVE-2006-003 on an outdated VM |
 |
| CVE-2006-0003 - MDAC vuln is there also |
But here is what has motivated this post, since 2013/01/24 a new infection path appeared involving a third unknown (not the CVE-2010-0188 nor CVE-2009-0927) PDF
CVE-2012-0775 :
Right now those PDF are nicely managed by Wepawet :

| Adobe Reader version based conditions (screenshot from Wepawet Analysis) |
 |
| Enabler (screenshot from Wepawet Analysis) |

| (screenshot from Wepawet Analysis) |
I plan to add more data here later. I prefer not talking now about the results of all the tests that have been made.

| One popup seen triggering those CVEs |
For the payload on the Cool EK studied here, as usual, it's Reveton Ransomware, which has also changed recently according to Malekal
