Description
This security bulletin contains information about 11 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Spoofing attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32205)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can obscure browser prompts and perform spoofing attack.
2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32206)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the RLBox Expat driver. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted website, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and crash the browser.
3) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32207)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform clickjacking attack.
