1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44185)

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

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 perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44296)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper checks in WebKit. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website and prevent Content Security Policy from being enforced.


3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44308)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of an arbitrary website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.

Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild against Intel-based Mac systems.


5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44244)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error 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.
