Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 8 vulnerabilities.

Updated: 02.08.2020

Changed bulletin title, added vulnerabilities #2-7.

1) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU32874

Risk: High

CVSSv3.1:

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-13753

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

The bubblewrap sandbox of WebKitGTK and WPE WebKit, prior to 2.28.3, failed to properly block access to CLONE_NEWUSER and the TIOCSTI ioctl. CLONE_NEWUSER could potentially be used to confuse xdg-desktop-portal, which allows access outside the sandbox. TIOCSTI can be used to directly execute commands outside the sandbox by writing to the controlling terminal's input buffer, similar to CVE-2017-5226.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

Vulnerable software versions

WebKitGTK+: 2.28.0 - 2.28.2

WPE WebKit: 2.28.0 - 2.28.2

2) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU32964

Risk: High

CVSSv3.1:

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-9850

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when processing web content. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted web page, trick the victim into visiting it and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

Vulnerable software versions

WebKitGTK+: 2.0.0 - 2.29.2

WPE WebKit: 2.19.93 - 2.28.2

3) Cross-site scripting

EUVDB-ID: #VU32963

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1:

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-9843

CWE-ID: CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

Exploit availability: No

Description

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.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
