Description
This security bulletin contains information about 16 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-1546)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when storing and re-accessing data on a networking channel. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted website, trigger an out-of-bounds read and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
2) Spoofing attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-1547)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can use a series of API calls and redirects to display an attacker-controlled alert dialog on another website (with the victim website's URL shown).
3) Spoofing attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-1548)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can hide the fullscreen notification by using a dropdown select input element.
4) Spoofing attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-1549)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can use a malicious website to set a large custom cursor, portions of the which can overlap with the permission dialog, potentially resulting in user confusion and unexpected granted permissions.
5) Spoofing attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-1550)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can use a combination of exiting fullscreen mode and `requestPointerLock` to cause the user's mouse to be re-positioned unexpectedly, which could have led to user confusion and inadvertently granting permissions they did not intend to grant.
6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-1551)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when processing Set-Cookie response headers in multipart HTTP responses. A remote attacker who controls the Content-Type response header and part of the response body can inject Set-Cookie response headers that are honored by the browser.
7) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-1552)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the browser during code generation on 32-bit ARM devices. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted website and bypass implemented security restrictions.
8) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-1553)
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.
9) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-1936)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in Thunderbird when handling local cache. The encrypted subject of an email message could be incorrectly and permanently assigned to an arbitrary other email message in Thunderbird's local cache. Consequently, when replying to the contaminated email message, the user might accidentally leak the confidential subject to a third party.
10) 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.
11) 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.
12) 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.
13) 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.
14) 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.
15) 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.
16) 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.
