Multiple Vulnerabilities in Adobe Products Could Allow for Arbitrary Code Execution

Read Time:36 Second

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Adobe products, the most severe of which could allow for arbitrary code execution.

Adobe is a software that is used for creating and publishing a wide variety of contents including graphics, photography, illustration, animation, multimedia, motion pictures and print.

Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow for arbitrary code execution in the context of the logged on user. Depending on the privileges associated with the user, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights

Re: Microsoft PlayReady WMRMECC256 Key / root key issue (attack #5)

Read Time:30 Second

Posted by Security Explorations on Aug 13

Hello All,

In my previous post, I shamefully confused two root keys (WMRMECC256
and ECC256MSBCertRootIssuer) while decribing the issue pertaining to
one of them.

The key exploited in the attack is called ECC256MSBCertRootIssuer Key
(not the WMRMECC256) and is identified by the following public
component:

86 4D 61 CF F2 25 6E 42 2C 56 8B 3C 28 00 1C FB
