Description
This security bulletin contains information about 11 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9392)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to an unspecified error. A compromised content process perform arbitrary loading of cross-origin pages.
2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9396)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when cloning certain objects. 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.
3) Insufficient UI Warning of Dangerous Operations (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9397)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform clickjacking attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to a missing delay in directory upload UI. A remote attacker can trick a user into granting permission via clickjacking.
4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9398)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a possibility to enumerate protocol handlers via the window.open() call. A remote attacker can enumerate installed applications on the system.
5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9399)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when handling WebTransport. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website and crash the browser.
6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9400)
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 during JIT compilation. A remote attacker can crash the browser.
7) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9401)
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 visiting 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) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9402)
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) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9403)
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.
10) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9393)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly impose security restrictions. A remote attacker can use a specially crafted multipart response to execute arbitrary JavaScript under the resource://pdf.js origin and access cross-origin PDF content.
Note, this access is limited to "same site" documents by the Site Isolation feature on desktop clients, however the full cross-origin access is possible on Android installations.
11) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9394)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly impose security restrictions. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted multipart response and execute arbitrary JavaScript under the resource://devtools origin. This could allow them to access cross-origin JSON content.
Note, this access is limited to "same site" documents by the Site Isolation feature on desktop clients, however full cross-origin access is possible on Android.
