Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4190)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a flaw in the WebKit component. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into loading specially crafted CSS mask images and gain access to the target user's credentials.
2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4199)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to buffer overflow in the WebKit component when handling malicious input. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into loading a specially crafted content, trigger a memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
3) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4218)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to boundary error in the WebKit component when handling malicious input. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into loading a specially crafted content, trigger a memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4222)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds read error in WebKit. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into loading a specially crafted content, trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.
5) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4232)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website, bypass security restrictions and cause cookies to be overwritten.
6) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4233)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to boundary error in the WebKit component when handling malicious input. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into loading a specially crafted content, trigger a memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
7) Type confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4246)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to type confusion in the WebKit component when handling malicious input. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
8) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11646)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to mishandling of an unset pageURL in webkitFaviconDatabaseSetIconForPageURL and webkitFaviconDatabaseSetIconURLForPageURL in UIProcess/API/glib/WebKitFaviconDatabase.cpp. A remote attacker can send specially crafted input and cause the service to crash.
