The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can modify the plaintext Extra Count field of a confidential GSS krb5 wrap token, causing the unwrapped token to appear truncated to the application.
9) Insufficient verification of data authenticity (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34397)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to missing authorization for D-Bus signals. When a GDBus-based client subscribes to signals from a trusted system service such as NetworkManager on a shared computer, other users of the same computer can send spoofed D-Bus signals that the GDBus-based client will wrongly interpret as having been sent by the trusted system service.
10) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45492)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the nextScaffoldPart() function in xmlparse.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, 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.
11) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-40776)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when processing HTML content. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open 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.
12) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-40780)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted website, trick the victim into opening it, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
13) Inefficient regular expression complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-41818)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing untrusted input with a regular expressions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
