Description

This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.


1) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11646)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

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:A/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to mishandling of an unset pageURL in webkitFaviconDatabaseSetIconForPageURL and webkitFaviconDatabaseSetIconURLForPageURL in UIProcess/API/glib/WebKitFaviconDatabase.cpp. A remote attacker can send specially crafted input and cause the service to crash.


2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4190)

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:A/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a flaw in the WebKit component. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into loading specially crafted CSS mask images and gain access to the target user's credentials.


3) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4199)

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 vulnerability exists due to buffer overflow in the WebKit component when handling malicious input. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into loading a specially crafted content, trigger a memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


4) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4218)

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 vulnerability exists due to boundary error in the WebKit component when handling malicious input. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into loading a specially crafted content, trigger a memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


5) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4222)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/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 vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds read error in WebKit. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into loading a specially crafted content, trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.


6) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4232)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website, bypass security restrictions and cause cookies to be overwritten.


7) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4233)

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:A/U:Amber


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

The vulnerability exists due to boundary error in the WebKit component when handling malicious input. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into loading a specially crafted content, trigger a memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
