Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Heap use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-6307)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to heap use-after-free error in server code of file transfer extension. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-15126)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a heap use-after-free error in server code of file transfer extension. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
3) Heap out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-15127)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to heap out-of-bounds write in server code of file transfer extension. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
4) Heap out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-20019)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to heap out-of-bounds write in VNC client code. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
5) Heap out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-20020)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to heap out-of-bounds write in inside structure in VNC client code. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
6) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-20021)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop in VNC client code. A remote attacker can consume excessive amount of resources like CPU and RAM and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-20022)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak in VNC Repeater client code. A remote attacker can read stack memory and bypass ASLR.
8) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-20023)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak in VNC Repeater client code. A remote attacker can read stack memory and bypass ASLR.
9) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-20024)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in VNC client code. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
