Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 Vulnerability Research March 2017 Disclosures
Summary: Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 researchers disclosed three code execution vulnerabilities affecting Adobe Flash, tracked as APSB17-07, which Adobe addressed in its monthly security update. Palo Alto Networks released IPS signatures for Threat Prevention subscribers and stated that its Traps endpoint product can block memory corruption-based exploits of this nature.
Key Takeaway: Three code execution flaws in Flash, a component attackers routinely targeted, were fixed only through Adobe's monthly update cycle - so any organization that had not applied APSB17-07 was exposed until it did.
