Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.
1) Processor optimization removal or modification of security-critical code (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3852)
CWE-ID: CWE-1037 - Processor optimization removal or modification of security-critical code
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to GetBoundName can return the wrong version of an object when JIT optimizations were applied. A remote attacker can abuse such behavior to execute arbitrary code on the system.
2) Processor optimization removal or modification of security-critical code (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3854)
CWE-ID: CWE-1037 - Processor optimization removal or modification of security-critical code
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect optimization, when some code patterns in the JIT incorrectly optimized switch statements and generated code with out-of-bounds-reads. A remote attacker can abuse such behavior to execute arbitrary code on the system.
3) Processor optimization removal or modification of security-critical code (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3857)
CWE-ID: CWE-1037 - Processor optimization removal or modification of security-critical code
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect optimization when JIT created incorrect code for arguments in certain cases. A remote attacker can abuse such behavior to execute arbitrary code on the system.
4) Multiple Interpretations of UI Input (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-2609)
CWE-ID: CWE-450 - Multiple Interpretations of UI Input
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform clickjacking attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the permission prompt input delay can expire while the window is not in focus. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted website and perform a clickjacking attack.
5) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3859)
CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow when handling OpenType fonts. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted website and gain access to sensitive information.
6) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3861)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to crash the browser.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error. If an AlignedBuffer were assigned to itself, the subsequent self-move could result in an incorrect reference count and later use-after-free.
7) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3864)
CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing HTML content. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted website, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
