Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.

1) Memory corruption

EUVDB-ID: #VU10972

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 6.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5125

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The weakness exists due to boundary error when handling malicious input. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

Vulnerable software versions

Firefox ESR: 52.6.0

CPE2.3 External links

https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2018-03/msg00037.html


Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

How the attacker can exploit this vulnerability?

The attacker would have to trick the victim to visit a specially crafted website.

2) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU10967

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 6.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5127

CWE-ID: CWE-120 - Buffer overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The weakness exists due to buffer overflow when manipulating the SVg animatedPathSegList through script. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

5) Information disclosure

EUVDB-ID: #VU10970

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5131

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information exposure

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.

The weakness exists due to the fetch() API can return transient local copies of resources that were sent with a no-store or no-cache cache header instead of downloading a copy from the network as it should. A remote attacker can share a common profile while browsing and access previously stored, locally cached data of a website.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

6) Integer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU10971

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5144

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists due to integer overflow during conversion of text to some Unicode character sets. A remote attacker can supply unchecked length parameter, trigger overflow and cause the service to crash.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
