Description
This security bulletin contains information about 13 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-23206)
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 visit a specially crafted web 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.
2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-23213)
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 visit a specially crafted web 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.
3) Type confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-23222)
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 HTML content. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open 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.
Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.
4) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-23271)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to a logic error in WebKit, which can lead to unexpected cross-origin behavior. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted website and bypass implemented security restrictions.
5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27808)
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 in WebKit. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted website, 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.
6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27820)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in WebKit Web Inspector. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted website, 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.
7) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27833)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in WebKit. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted data website, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
8) Improper authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27834)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in within the webKit component. A remote attacker can bypass pointer authentication.
9) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27838)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output in WebKit. A remote attacker can fingerprint website users.
10) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27851)
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 in WebKit. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted website, 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.
11) Spoofing attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-40866)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of user-supplied data in WebKit. A remote attacker can spoof the browser's address bar.
12) Protection Mechanism Failure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44187)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when handling "iframe" elements in WebKit. A remote attacker can exfiltrate data cross-origin.
13) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4558)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the ANGLE component in Google Chrome. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted web page, trick the victim into visiting it, trigger use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
