Technical Analysis

I am submitting this information to AttackerKB based on recent news and activity about a cracked version of CANVAS v7.26 being distributed that can exploit CVE-2017-2015. As this vulnerability has recently passed 3 years since release with only some PoCs published, the recent activity is worth noting. The expectation is that an exploit will be in the wild in the near future.

There is a good writeup of the recent activity at https://therecord.media/first-fully-weaponized-spectre-exploit-discovered-online/
