Description
This security bulletin contains information about 13 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-5688)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error during JavaScript object transplant. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted website, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the system.
2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-5690)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output about the external protocol handlers. A remote attacker can perform a timing attack and gain access to sensitive information.
3) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-5691)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when handling the X-Frame-Options header. A sandboxed iframe could have presented a button that, if clicked by a user, would bypass restrictions to open a new window.
4) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-5692)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when parsing file names using the Save As functionality on Windows 10. A remote attacker can trick the victim into saving the file with a disallowed extension such as .url by including an invalid character in the extension.
Note, the vulnerability affects only Windows installations of Firefox.
5) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-5693)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to Offscreen Canvas does not properly track cross-origin tainting. A remote attacker can access image data from another site in violation of same-origin policy.
6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-5696)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing the text in an <input> tag. 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.
7) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-5700)
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.
8) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-5702)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in the networking stack. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted website, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the system.
9) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-6600)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in WebGL API. 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.
Note, the vulnerability affects Firefox installations on macOS only.
10) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-6601)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in permission assignment. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted website, bypass cross-origin container obtaining permissions of the top-level origin and gain access to sensitive information.
11) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-6602)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in NSS. 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.
12) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-6603)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in thread creation. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted website, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and crash the browser.
