Multiple vulnerabilities in WebKitGTK+ and WPE WebKit

1) Security restrictions bypass

EUVDB-ID: #VU57811

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 0.4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-42762

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists in BubblewrapLauncher.cpp due to application allows a sandboxed process to trick host processes into thinking the sandboxed process is not confined by the sandbox. A local user can abuse the VFS syscalls that manipulate its filesystem namespace and bypass implemented security restrictions. The impact is limited to host services that create UNIX sockets that WebKit mounts inside its sandbox, and the sandboxed process remains otherwise confined.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

Vulnerable software versions

WebKitGTK+: 2.33.1 - 2.34.0

WPE WebKit: 2.33.1 - 2.34.0

CPE2.3

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) Memory corruption

EUVDB-ID: #VU56730

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-2021-30846

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 vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing HTML content in WebKit. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted web page, 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.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

Vulnerable software versions

WPE WebKit: 2.33.1 - 2.33.90

WebKitGTK+: 2.33.1 - 2.33.90
