*** Flash in 2015 *** --------------------------------------------- In the past few years, web exploits had three main targets: Internet Explorer, Java, and Flash. In 2013, the popularity of Java exploits peaked. Bug hunters became really good at finding Java bugs, and corrupting the security manager was a convenient exploitation technique. Multiple exploit campaigns used Java zero-days, and exploit kits (EK) universally adopted these exploits. In January of 2014, however, Oracle blocked the execution of unsigned applets by default, and exploit authors largely abandoned Java. The change left Internet Explorer and Adobe Flash as the next best targets. Both IE and Flash received attention from exploit developers, but in June of 2014, Microsoft began rolling out heap corruption mitigations such as an isolated heap and delayed frees for IE. Exploit developers again, needed to shift their focus. --------------------------------------------- https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2015/03/flash_in_2015.html
