Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-13510)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when processing the Arena files. A remote attacker can trick a victim to open a specially crafted Arena file and crash the application or execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.


2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-13511)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to the specific flaw exists within the processing of project files. A remote attacker can trick a victim to open a specially crafted Arena file and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information related to the targeted workstation.


3) Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-13521)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing the .DOE files. A remote attacker can trick a victim to open a specially crafted .DOE file and execute arbitrary commands on the target system without prompting the user.

4) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-13519)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error when processing the .DOE files. A remote attacker can trick a victim to open a specially crafted .DOE file, trigger a type confusion error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

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


5) Access of uninitialized pointer (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-13527)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to the affected software accesses or uses a pointer that has not been initialized. A remote attacker can trick a victim to open a specially crafted Arena file, which results in the use of a pointer that has not been initialized and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
