Description
This security bulletin contains information about 12 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Spoofing attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45408)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of a series of popups that reuse windowName. A remote attacker can force the browser to go fullscreen without the user seeing the notification prompt, resulting in potential user confusion or spoofing attacks.
2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45412)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when resolving a symlink such as file:///proc/self/fd/1. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted website, trick the victim into opening it, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of unitialized memory via an error message.
Note, this vulnerability does not affect Windows installations.
3) Spoofing attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45418)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of custom mouse cursor. A remote attacker can draw a custom mouse cursor, specified in CSS, over the browser UI, resulting in potential user confusion or spoofing attacks.
4) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45410)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when handling ServiceWorker-intercepted requests. When a ServiceWorker intercepted a request with FetchEvent, the origin of the request was lost after the ServiceWorker took ownership of it. This had the effect of negating SameSite cookie protections.
5) Spoofing attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45404)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of a series of popup and window.print() calls. A remote attacker can force the browser to go fullscreen without the user seeing the notification prompt, resulting in potential user confusion or spoofing attacks.
6) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45406)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when handling JavaScript realms. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted website, 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) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45405)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the InputStream implementation. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted website, 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.
8) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45421)
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 web page, 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.
9) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45403)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in Service Workers. A remote attacker can obtain information about the presence or length of a media file using timing information for cross-origin media combined with Range requests.
10) Cross-site tracing (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45411)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when handling non-standard headers. Cross-Site Tracing occurs when a server will echo a request back via the Trace method, allowing an XSS attack to access to authorization headers and cookies inaccessible to JavaScript (such as cookies protected by HTTPOnly). To mitigate this attack, browsers placed limits on fetch() and XMLHttpRequest; however some webservers have implemented non-standard headers such as X-Http-Method-Override
that override the HTTP method, and made this attack possible again.
11) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45409)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in Garbage Collection. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted website, 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.
12) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45416)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to keystroke side-channel leakage. Keyboard events reference strings like "KeyA" that were at fixed, known, and widely-spread addresses. Cache-based timing attacks such as Prime+Probe could have possibly figured out which keys were being pressed.
