The infection chain of CVE-2012-4969
As you can see, the infection starts when the specially crafted webpage (detected asExploit:Win32/CVE-2012-4969.C) is loaded into a vulnerable version of Internet Explorer. This webpage loads a malicious SWF (Adobe Shockwave Flash) file which we detect asExploit:SWF/ShellCode.G. This SWF file is encrypted using a commercial packer to evade detection, and will try to load another webpage, which checks if your computer is vulnerable to the exploit and exploit it. This second webpage is detected as Exploit:Win32/CVE-2012-4969.A
If the exploitation is successful, a shellcode runs which downloads a malicious payload from a remote server. The payload is detected as Backdoor:Win32/Poison.BR.
