Description

This security bulletin contains information about 15 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Multiple Interpretations of UI Input (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-2609)

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.


2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3302)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when handling HTTP/2 CONTINUATION frames. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crated website and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Processor optimization removal or modification of security-critical code (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3852)

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.


4) Processor optimization removal or modification of security-critical code (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3854)

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.


5) Processor optimization removal or modification of security-critical code (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3857)

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.


6) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3859)

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.


7) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3861)

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.


8) Insufficient UI warning of dangerous operations (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3863)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to a missing warning when downloading .xrm-ms files. A remote attacker can trick the victim to download and execute arbitrary code on the system.

Note, the vulnerability affects Windows installations only.


9) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3864)

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.


10) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4367)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error when handling fonts in PDF.js. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted website, 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.


11) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4767)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to browser does not delete IndexedDB files after browser window is closed if the `browser.privatebrowsing.autostart` preference is enabled. A local user can view the file and gain access to data browsed in private browsing mode.


12) Insufficient UI warning of dangerous operations (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4768)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform clickjacking attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in the popup notifications' interaction with WebAuthn. A remote attacker can trick the victim into granting permissions to a malicious web application.


13) Information Exposure Through an Error Message (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4769)

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

The vulnerability exists due to browser issues different error messages for application/javascript responses and non-script responses when importing resources using Web Workers. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted website and learn information cross-origin


14) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4770)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to crash the browser.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when saving a page to PDF. A remote attacker can trick the victim to save a specially crafted web page to PDF and crash the browser.


15) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4777)

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 create a specially crafted webpage, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

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