Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Cross-site request forgery (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1661)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site request forgery attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of the HTTP request origin. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially specially crafted web page and execute malicious and unauthorized actions transmitted from a user that the website trusts.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1677)

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of full file system. A local attacker can cause a denial of service.


3) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1665)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to weak cryptographic algorithms. A remote attacker can decrypt highly sensitive information.


4) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1667)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can edit new comments from higher-privileged users, trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.


5) Man-in-the-middle attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1663)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to conduct MITM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the failure to properly enable HTTP Strict Transport Security. A remote attacker can use man-in-the-middle techniques and gain access to potentially sensitive information.


6) Denial of service (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1652)

The vulnerability allows a local unprivileged attacker to cause DoS condition.

The vulnerability exists due to unspecified flaw. A local attacker can cause the service to crash.
