Description

This security bulletin contains information about 16 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8377)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to boundary error when Microsoft Edge improperly accesses objects in memory. 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.


2) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8387)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to boundary error when Microsoft Edge improperly accesses objects in memory. 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.


3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8370)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds-read when WebAudio Library improperly handles audio requests. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website and read privileged data across trust boundaries, such as sensitive data from other opened tabs.


4) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8358)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions on on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when Microsoft Edge improperly handles redirect requests. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website and bypass Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) redirect restrictions, follow redirect requests that should otherwise be ignored and force the browser to send data that would otherwise be restricted to a destination website of the attacker's choice.


5) Spoofing attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8388)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The weakness exists due to improper handling of specific HTML content by Microsoft Edge. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and perform a spoofing attack.

6) Spoofing attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8383)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The weakness exists due to improper parsing of specific HTTP content by Microsoft Edge. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and perform a spoofing attack.

7) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8381)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to boundary error when the Chakra scripting engine handles objects in memory in Microsoft Edge. 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) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8380)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to boundary error when the Chakra scripting engine handles objects in memory in Microsoft Edge. 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.


9) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8266)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to boundary error when the Chakra scripting engine handles objects in memory in Microsoft Edge. 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.


10) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8355)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to boundary error when the scripting engine handles objects in memory in Microsoft browsers. 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.


11) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8390)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to boundary error when the ChakraCore scripting engine handles objects in memory. 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.


12) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8385)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to boundary error when the scripting engine handles objects in memory in Microsoft browsers. 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.


13) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8372)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to boundary error when the scripting engine handles objects in memory in Microsoft browsers. 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.


14) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8403)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to boundary error when Microsoft browsers access objects in memory. 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.


15) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8351)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when affected Microsoft browsers improperly allow cross-frame interaction. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website and obtain browser frame or window state from a different domain.


16) Privilege escalation (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8357)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to sandbox escape. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website and use the sandbox escape to elevate privileges.
