This is not an advanced exploit. If you want to see one of those, check out Pegasus which had to deal with code signing and JIT pages.

This type of exploit is much harder to write in Chrome and Edge due to memory partitioning, an exploit mitigation that Firefox lacks.

If you thought this exploit was from MSF, it's not. MSF has 8 Firefox exploits, none of them match this new one.

The version regex in the exploit matches Firefox 49, and the specific user-agent that the Tor Browser Bundle uses.pic.twitter.com/OjMf6T4JHA

The vulnerability is present on macOS, but the exploit does not include support for targeting any operating system but Windows.

If you were wondering, Mozilla is aware of the bug and has an open issue to track it.http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/adcc39e3cad0 …

It's not possible to determine the origin of the bug -- fuzzer or manual analysis. IMHO the author developed the exploit from scratch.

The shellcode is fairly simple. It calls back to 5.39.27.226 (check your logs). Again, nothing outrageous here.

Final thoughts: the Tor Browser Bundle is unable to protect those that need it most. If you rely on it, strongly reconsider your choices.

Consider the difficulty of running a Tor exit node that injects this exploit into every HTTP session. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The story here is that there is no story. Software is buggy, 0days exist. Stop obsessing over single vulnerabilities. It's 2016, move fwd.

This is unlikely to work. All past info says LE exploits only run for very specific logged in users. https://twitter.com/csoghoian/status/803958781948338176 …

may we obsess about vulns at macro rather than micro level?
