4) Type Confusion
EUVDB-ID: #VU18800
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11706
CWE-ID:
CWE-843 - Type confusion
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error within the iCal implementation in icaltimezone_get_vtimezone_properties function in icalproperty.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted email with malformed timezone data, trigger a type confusion error and crash the application.

6) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
EUVDB-ID: #VU18860
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:H/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11708
CWE-ID:
CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass sandbox restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient vetting of parameters passed with the Prompt:Open
IPC message between child and parent processes. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted web page that can make the non-sandboxed parent process open web content chosen by a compromised child process.
An attacker can combine this behavior along with another vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system with privileges on the current user.
