Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 vulnerabilities.


1) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4088)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The weakness exists due to boundary error in the WebKit component when processing maliciously crafted web content. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with privileges of the current user.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.

2) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-13885)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The weakness exists due to boundary error. A remote attacker can submit specially crafted web content, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.


3) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-7165)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The weakness exists due to boundary error. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.


4) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-13884)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The weakness exists due to boundary error. A remote attacker can submit specially crafted web content, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.


5) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-7160)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to boundary error. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.


6) Spoofing attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-7153)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to conduct spoofing attack on the target system.

The weakness exists due to incorrect display of the lock icon on mixed content. A remote attacker can conduct spoofing attacks and gain access to potentially sensitive information.


7) Command injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-7161)

CWE-ID: CWE-77 - Command injection

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to command injection. A remote attacker can submit specially crafted web content, inject arbitrary commands and execute arbitrary code.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.


8) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4096)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption
