Description

This security bulletin contains information about 14 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-12911)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

The weakness exists due to an off-by-one error in the get_simple_globs functions in ThirdParty/xdgmime/src/xdgmimecache.c and ThirdParty/xdgmime/src/xdgmimeglob.c. A remote attacker can trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.

2) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4261)

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

The vulnerability 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 with elevated privileges.


3) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4262)

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

The vulnerability 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 with elevated privileges.


4) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4263)

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

The vulnerability 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 with elevated privileges.


5) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4264)

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

The vulnerability 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 with elevated privileges.


6) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4265)

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

The vulnerability 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 with elevated privileges.


7) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4266)

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

The vulnerability exists due to race condition when handling malicious input. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website and cause the service to crash.


8) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4267)

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

The vulnerability 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 with elevated privileges.


9) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4270)

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

The vulnerability 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 cause the service to crash.


10) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4271)

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

The vulnerability 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 cause the service to crash.
