Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-12816)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.The weakness exists due to out-of-bounds read. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and gain access to arbitrary data.
2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-12818)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.The weakness exists due to out-of-bounds read. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and gain access to arbitrary data.
3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-12819)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.The weakness exists due to out-of-bounds read. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and gain access to arbitrary data.
4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-12820)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.The weakness exists due to out-of-bounds read. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and gain access to arbitrary data.
5) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-12821)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.The weakness exists due to out-of-bounds read. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and gain access to arbitrary data.
6) Use-after-free error (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-12822)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free error when handling malicious input. A remote unauthenticated attacker can create a specially crafted file 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.
7) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-12813)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer overflow when handling malicious input. A remote unauthenticated attacker can create a specially crafted file 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.
8) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-12814)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer overflow when handling malicious input. A remote unauthenticated attacker can create a specially crafted file, 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.
9) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-12815)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.The weakness exists due to heap-based buffer overflow when handling malicious input. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted .pdf file, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with privileges of the current user.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
