Description
This security bulletin contains information about 10 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-30749)
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 within the KeyframeEffect class in WebKit. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted web oage, 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.
2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-30734)
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 in WebKit. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted web oage, 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.
3) Universal cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-30744)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data in WebKit. A remote attacker can 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.
4) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-30720)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists in WebKit due to the way the component handles links to internal resources. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted web page and trick the application to connect to arbitrary internal addresses.
5) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-30682)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application in webKit. A remote attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive user information.
6) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-21779)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when processing HTML content in WebKit. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted web page, trick the victim into opening it, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
7) Universal cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-30689)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data in WebKit. A remote attacker can 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.
8) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-30663)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in WebKit. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted web page, trick the victim into visiting it, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.
9) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23841)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the X509_issuer_and_serial_hash() function when parsing the issuer field in the X509 certificate. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted certificate, trigger a NULL pointer dereference error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
10) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-30698)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in webRTC. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
