Description

This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-20503)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in sctp_load_addresses_from_init in usrsctp. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.


2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-6805)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when removing data about origins in Quota manager in Mozilla Firefox. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted web page, trick the victim into visiting it, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.


3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-6806)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read error due to BodyStream::OnInputStreamReady was missing protections against state confusion. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted web page, trick the victim into visiting it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.


4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-6807)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in cubeb during stream destruction. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted web page, trick the victim into visiting it, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.


5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-6811)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input copied into buffer via the 'Copy as cURL' feature of Devtools' network tab. A remote attacker can trick the victim into using the 'Copy as cURL' feature to copy malicious data into buffer and later insert them into a terminal window.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in OS command execution.


6) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-6812)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The first time AirPods are connected to an iPhone, they become named after the user's name by default (e.g. Jane Doe's AirPods.) Websites with camera or microphone permission are able to enumerate device names, disclosing the user's name.


7) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-6814)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing HTML content. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted website, 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.
