Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.
1) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5125)
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 when handling malicious input. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5127)
CWE-ID: CWE-120 - Buffer overflow
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 buffer overflow when manipulating the SVg animatedPathSegList through script. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
3) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5129)
CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
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 a lack of parameter validation on IPC messages. A remote attacker can supply specially crafted malformed IPC messages, trigger out-of-bounds write, escape sandbox and execute arbitrary code.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
4) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5144)
CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to integer overflow during conversion of text to some Unicode character sets. A remote attacker can supply unchecked length parameter, trigger overflow and cause the service to crash.
5) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5145)
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 when handling malicious input. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5146)
CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
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 vulnerability exists due to boundary error when processing Vorbis audio within libvorbis library. A remote unauthenticated attacker can create a specially crafted HTML page, trick the victim into opening it, trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
