Description

This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Multiple Interpretations of UI Input (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-2609)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform clickjacking attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the permission prompt input delay can expire while the window is not in focus. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted website and perform a clickjacking attack.


2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3302)

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

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when handling HTTP/2 CONTINUATION frames. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crated website and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Processor optimization removal or modification of security-critical code (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3852)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to GetBoundName can return the wrong version of an object when JIT optimizations were applied. A remote attacker can abuse such behavior to execute arbitrary code on the system.


4) Processor optimization removal or modification of security-critical code (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3854)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect optimization, when some code patterns in the JIT incorrectly optimized switch statements and generated code with out-of-bounds-reads. A remote attacker can abuse such behavior to execute arbitrary code on the system.


5) Processor optimization removal or modification of security-critical code (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3857)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect optimization when JIT created incorrect code for arguments in certain cases. A remote attacker can abuse such behavior to execute arbitrary code on the system.


6) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3859)

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

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow when handling OpenType fonts. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted website and gain access to sensitive information.


7) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3861)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to crash the browser.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error. If an AlignedBuffer were assigned to itself, the subsequent self-move could result in an incorrect reference count and later use-after-free.


8) Insufficient UI warning of dangerous operations (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3863)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to a missing warning when downloading .xrm-ms files. A remote attacker can trick the victim to download and execute arbitrary code on the system.

Note, the vulnerability affects Windows installations only.


9) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3864)

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 trick the victim to open a specially crafted website, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
