Description

This security bulletin contains information about 17 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11691)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in Apple GPU drivers. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted webpage, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Note, the vulnerability affects only installations on macOS operating system.


2) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11694)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented CSP.

The vulnerability exists due to Enhanced Tracking Protection's Strict mode allows a CSP frame-src bypass and DOM-based XSS through the Google SafeFrame shim in the Web Compatibility extension. A remote attacker can masquerade malicious frames as legitimate content.


3) Insufficient UI Warning of Dangerous Operations (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11692)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error, which leads to a select dropdown be shown over another tab. A remote attacker can perform spoofing attack against arbitrary website.


4) Insufficient UI Warning of Dangerous Operations (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11693)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to a file warning is not displayed when downloading .library-ms files. A remote attacker can trick the victim into downloading and execution malicious files on the system.

Note, the vulnerability affects only installations on Windows operating system.


5) Spoofing attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11695)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of URL containing Arabic script and whitespace characters. A remote attacker can spoof the URL of the website.


6) Improper error handling (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11696)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper exception handling thrown by the loadManifestFromFile method when validating add-on signatures. A remote attacker can bypass the implemented signature verification process and perform installation of a malicious add-on.


7) Data Handling (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11697)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper keypress handling in executable file confirmation dialog. A remote attacker can trick the victim into executing a malicious file.


8) Insufficient UI Warning of Dangerous Operations (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11698)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in handling fullscreen transitions. A remote attacker can force the browser to be stuck in the fullscreen mode even after pressing the "Esc" button and perform a spoofing attack.

Note, the vulnerability affects installations on macOS only.


9) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11699)

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 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.


10) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11708)

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

The vulnerability exists due to missing thread synchronization primitives. A remote attacker can trigger a data race of the PlaybackParams structure and gain access to sensitive information.


11) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11702)

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

The vulnerability exists due to inadequate clipboard protection in private browsing mode. When copying sensitive information, such as passwords, from private browsing tabs on Android can lead to this data be stored in the cloud-based clipboard history if enabled.


12) Spoofing attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11701)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a misleading address bar state during navigation interruption. A remote attacker can perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability allows a an attacker with physical access to device to view user's passwords.

The vulnerability exists due to application allows to view stored passwords without the required device PIN authentication. An attacker with access to the mobile device can view passwords stored in browser.


14) Insufficient UI Warning of Dangerous Operations (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11700)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform tapjacking attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in the confirmation dialog. A remote attacker can trick the victim into unknowingly approving the launch of external applications on the device.


15) Double free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11704)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the sec_pkcs7_decoder_start_decrypt() function. A remote attacker can trick the victim into connecting to a specially crafted website, trigger a double free error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

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


16) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11706)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the SEC_ASN1DecodeItem_Util() function in pk12util. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted website and crash the browser.


17) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11705)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in NSC_DeriveKey. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website and crash the browser.
