FruityArmor APT Group Used Recently Patched Windows Zero Day

FruityArmor APT group was using one of the Windows zero days patched by Microsoft last week to escape sandboxes and carry out targeted attacks. The vulnerability, CVE-2016-3393, stemmed from the way a component, Windows graphics device interface (GDI), handled objects in memory. Microsoft said in bulletin MS16-120, which it marked critical, that an attacker could exploit the vulnerability multiple ways, either by tricking a user into opening a rigged document file, tricking them to click on a link, or opening an attachment sent via email.
