Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-13884)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The weakness exists due to boundary error. A remote attacker can submit specially crafted web content, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
2) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-13885)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The weakness exists due to boundary error. A remote attacker can submit specially crafted web content, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
3) Spoofing attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-7153)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to conduct spoofing attack on the target system.
The weakness exists due to incorrect display of the lock icon on mixed content. A remote attacker can conduct spoofing attacks and gain access to potentially sensitive information.
4) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-7160)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to boundary error. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
5) Command injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-7161)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to command injection. A remote attacker can submit specially crafted web content, inject arbitrary commands and execute arbitrary code.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
6) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-7165)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The weakness exists due to boundary error. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
7) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4088)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.The weakness exists due to boundary error in the WebKit component when processing maliciously crafted web content. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with privileges of the current user.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
8) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4089)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.The weakness exists due to boundary error in the WebKit component when processing maliciously crafted web content. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with privileges of the current user.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
9) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4096)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.The weakness exists due to boundary error in the WebKit component when processing maliciously crafted web content. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with privileges of the current user.
