Angler Exploit Kit Adds New Flash Exploit

The people behind the Angler exploit kit are already exploiting one of the Flash bugs patched last week in the kit s arsenal. This vulnerability is CVE-2014-8440, a memory corruption flaw in Flash that can allow an attacker to take control of a target system. The bug exists in Flash on multiple platforms, including Windows, OS X and Linux, and it is getting its share of attention from attackers. Angler is just one of many such exploit kits available to attackers, but creators seem to be especially quick about adding exploits for new vulnerabilities to the kit.
