HTTP: Adobe Flash Player CVE-2015-0310 PCRE Memory Access Violation

This signature detects an attempt to exploit an out of bounds memory access error while running a specially crafted Adobe Flash document. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to terminate the running flash application which could lead to termination of Flash component.

Extended Description

Adobe Flash Player before 13.0.0.262 and 14.x through 16.x before 16.0.0.287 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.438 on Linux does not properly restrict discovery of memory addresses, which allows attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism on Windows, and have an unspecified impact on other platforms, via unknown vectors, as exploited in the wild in January 2015.
