Description
This security bulletin contains information about 10 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Multiple Interpretations of UI Input (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7518)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exist due to improper input interpretation in UI when handling select options. A remote attacler can obscure the fullscreen notification dialog by document content and perform spoofing attack.
2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7519)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing
graphics shared memory. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted
website, trick the victim into opening it, trigger an out-of-bounds read and bypass browser sandbox.
3) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7520)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error in WebAssembly. 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.
4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7521)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in WebAssembly. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted website, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
5) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7522)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in editor component. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted website, trick the victim into opening it, trigger an out-of-bounds read and bypass browser sandbox.
6) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7525)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due missing permission check when creating a StreamFilter. A web extension with minimal permissions can create a StreamFilter, which can be used to read and modify the response body of requests on any site.
7) Use of uninitialized resource (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7526)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass certain security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to usage of uninitialized resources in WebGL ANGLE. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted website and gain access to sensitive information.
8) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7527)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in JavaScript garbage collection. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
9) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7528)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in IndexedDB. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially
crafted website, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary
code on the system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
10) Multiple Interpretations of UI Input (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7529)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
