Description

This security bulletin contains information about 15 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Type confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4303)

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

The weakness exists due to type confusion in the Airport component. A local attacker can run a specially crafted application, trigger memory corruption and gain elevated privileges.


2) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4465)

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

The weakness exists due to boundary error in the Disk Images component. A local attacker can run a specially crafted application, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.


3) Denial of service (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4460)

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists due to an error in the Kernel component. A local attacker can conduct DoS attack and cause the device to crash.


4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4431)

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

The weakness exists due to a boundary error in the Kernel component. A local attacker can trigger memory corruption and read kernel memory.


5) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4447)

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

The weakness exists due to boundary error in the Kernel component. A local attacker can run a specially crafted application, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.


6) Privilege escalation (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4435)

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

The weakness exists due to a logic issue in the Kernel component. A local attacker can run a specially crafted application and gain elevated privileges.


7) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4436)

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

The weakness exists due insufficient validation of certificates in the Profiles component. A local attacker can bypass security restrictions and cause an untrusted configuration profile to be incorrectly displayed as verified.


8) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4437)

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

The weakness exists due to boundary error in the Webkit component. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.


9) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4461)

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

The weakness exists due to boundary error in the Kernel component. A local attacker can run a specially crafted application, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.


10) Spoofing attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4429)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to conduct spoofing attack on the target system.

The weakness exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in the LinkPresentation component. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted mail message and spoof UI.


11) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4464)

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

The weakness exists due to boundary error in the Webkit component. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.


12) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4438)

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

The weakness exists due to boundary error in the Webkit component. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website, trigger state management error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.


13) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4441)

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

The weakness exists due to boundary error in the Webkit component. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.


14) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-4442)

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

The weakness exists due to boundary error in the Webkit component. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
