Shield Adobe Flash (and other suggestions)

Recommended Posts

So here are some suggestions I came up with:

 

- Shield Adobe Flash Player (There are known exploits for this)

 

http://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-53/product_id-6761/Adobe-Flash-Player.html

 

 

I'm not quite sure if these are possible or are necessary since the vendors might fix the exploits themselves but I'll suggest them anyways:

 

- Prevent buffer overflow attacks and exploitation of memory corruption (From what I see, it currently just stops executable payloads).

 

Other suggestions:

 

- Export logs button

- Reset counters button

- Instead of showing a popup window (like the one specified below) when an exploit has been prevented, show it in the logs tab with details like with MBAM or just a notification popup in the right bottom corner.

The current one is reminiscent of an adware popup don't you think?

MBAE currently does shield Flash Player when its within the browser process space. There are some exceptions to this which we are working on fixing for next version where it will be fully covered.

 

As for the types of attacks you mention, we do protect against early stages of the vulnerability attack. Please read 17 and 18 from the FAQs:

Finally your GUI suggestions are good. Some of these we had in mind already and some will have to be implemented with the new GUI further down the line.

 

Thanks!
