1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-7285)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when processing maliciously crafted web content. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and 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-2019-7292)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing maliciously crafted web content. A remote attacker can disclose process memory.


3) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-8503)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

4) Origin validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-8515)

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

The vulnerability exists due to the affected software does not properly verify that the source of data or communication is valid when processing maliciously crafted web content. A remote attacker can disclose sensitive user information from another domain.


5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-8518)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing maliciously crafted web content. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

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


6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-8523)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing maliciously crafted web content. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

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