Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1441)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the Windows font library when processing specially crafted embedded fonts. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted document or visit a website and execute arbitrary code on the target system with privileges of the current user.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1440)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the win32k component. A local user can use a specially crafted application to trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1436)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the win32k component. A local user can use a specially crafted application to trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
4) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1434)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing objects in memory within the Windows kernel-mode driver. A local user can create a malicious application, launch it on the system and execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1408)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing objects in memory within the Win32k component. A local user can create a malicious application, launch it on the system and execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1396)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing objects in memory within the Win32k component. A local user can create a malicious application, launch it on the system and execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
7) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1395)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing objects in memory within the Win32k component. A local user can create a malicious application, launch it on the system and execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
8) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1394)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing objects in memory within the Win32k component. A local user can create a malicious application, launch it on the system and execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
9) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1393)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing objects in memory within the Win32k component. A local user can create a malicious application, launch it on the system and execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
