Description

This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Business Logic Errors (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-3885)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to logical errors. A remote attacker can trick a victim to open a specially crafted file or visit a malicious page and cause a file URL may be incorrectly processed.


2) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-3894)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition. A remote atacker can trick a victim to open a specially crafted file or visit a malicioous page, exploit the race and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the target system.


3) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-3895)

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 trick a victim to open a specially crafted file or visit a malicious page, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

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


4) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-3897)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error within the object transition cache. A remote attacker can trick a victim to visit a malicisou page or open a specially crafted 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) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-3900)

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 trick a victim to open a specially crafted file or visit a malicious page, 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) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-3901)

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 maliciously crafted web content. A remote attacker can trick a victim to open a specially crafted file or visit a malicious page, 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.


7) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-3902)

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.
