Several security issues were fixed in WebKitGTK.. =========================================================================Ubuntu Security Notice USN-5642-1 September 26, 2022 webkit2gtk vulnerabilities ========================================================================= A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in WebKitGTK. Software Description: - webkit2gtk: Web content engine library for GTK+ Details: Several security issues were discovered in the WebKitGTK Web and JavaScript engines. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote attacker could exploit a variety of issues related to web browser security, including cross-site scripting attacks, denial of service attacks, and arbitrary code execution. Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS: libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18 2.36.8-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 libjavascriptcoregtk-4.1-0 2.36.8-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 2.36.8-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 2.36.8-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18 2.36.8-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 2.36.8-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 This update uses a new upstream release, which includes additional bug fixes.

Mageia: 2018-0483 Moderate: Firefox Buffer Overflow and Use-After-Free

A buffer overflow and out-of-bounds read can occur in TextureStorage11 within the ANGLE graphics library, used for WebGL content. This results in a potentially exploitable crash (CVE-2018-17466). A use-after-free vulnerability can occur after deleting a selection . MGASA-2018-0483 - Updated firefox packages fix security vulnerabilities Publication date: 15 Dec 2018 URL: https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2018-0483.html Type: security Affected Mageia releases: 6 CVE: CVE-2018-12405, CVE-2018-17466, CVE-2018-18492, CVE-2018-18493, CVE-2018-18494, CVE-2018-18498 A buffer overflow and out-of-bounds read can occur in TextureStorage11 within the ANGLE graphics library, used for WebGL content. This results in a potentially exploitable crash (CVE-2018-17466). A use-after-free vulnerability can occur after deleting a selection element due to a weak reference to the select element in the options collection. This results in a potentially exploitable crash (CVE-2018-18492). A buffer overflow can occur in the Skia library during buffer offset calculations with hardware accelerated canvas 2D actions due to the use of 32-bit calculations instead of 64-bit. This results in a potentially exploitable crash (CVE-2018-18493). A same-origin policy violation allowing the theft of cross-origin URL entries when using the Javascript location property to cause a redirection to another site using performance.getEntries(). This is a same-origin policy violation and could allow for data theft (CVE-2018-19494). A potential vulnerability leading to an integer overflow can occur during buffer size calculations for images when a raw value is used instead of the checked value. This leads to a possible out-of-bounds write (CVE-2018-18498). Memory safety bugs present in Firefox ESR 60.3, some of which showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code (CVE-2018-12405).

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2009-0945 Array index error in the insertItemBefore method in WebKit, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a document with a SVGPathList data structure containing a negative index in the SVGTransformList, SVGStringList, SVGNumberList, SVGPathSegList, SVGPointList, or SVGLengthList SVGList object, which triggers memory corruption. CVE-2009-1687 The JavaScript garbage collector in WebKit does not properly handle allocation failures, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted HTML document that triggers write access to an "offset of a NULL pointer." CVE-2009-1690 Use-after-free vulnerability in WebKit, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memorycorruption and application crash) by setting an unspecified property of an HTML tag that causes child elements to be freed and later accessed when an HTML error occurs, related to "recursion in certain DOM event handlers." CVE-2009-1698 WebKit does not initialize a pointer during handling of a Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) attr function call with a large numerical argument, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted HTML document. CVE-2009-1711 WebKit does not properly initialize memory for Attr DOM objects, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted HTML document. CVE-2009-1712 WebKit does not prevent remote loading of local Java applets, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, gain privileges, or obtain sensitive information via an APPLET or OBJECT element. CVE-2009-1725 WebKit do not properly handle numeric character references, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted HTML document. CVE-2009-1714 Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Web Inspector in WebKit allows user-assisted remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML, and read local files, via vectors related to the improper escaping of HTML attributes. CVE-2009-1710 WebKit allows remote attackers to spoof the browser's display of the host name, security indicators, and unspecified other UI elements via a custom cursor in conjunction with a modified CSS3 hotspot property. CVE-2009-1697 CRLF injection vulnerability in WebKit allows remote attackers to inject HTTP headers and bypass the Same Origin Policy via a crafted HTML document, related to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks that depend on communication with arbitrary web sites on the same server through use of XMLHttpRequest without a Host header. CVE-2009-1695 Cross-sitescripting (XSS) vulnerability in WebKit allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors involving access to frame contents after completion of a page transition. CVE-2009-1693 WebKit allows remote attackers to read images from arbitrary web sites via a CANVAS element with an SVG image, related to a "cross-site image capture issue." CVE-2009-1694 WebKit does not properly handle redirects, which allows remote attackers to read images from arbitrary web sites via vectors involving a CANVAS element and redirection, related to a "cross-site image capture issue." CVE-2009-1681 WebKit does not prevent web sites from loading third-party content into a subframe, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and conduct "clickjacking" attacks via a crafted HTML document. CVE-2009-1684 Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in WebKit allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via an event handler that triggers script execution in the context of the next loaded document. CVE-2009-1692 WebKit allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or device reset) via a web page containing an HTMLSelectElement object with a large length attribute, related to the length property of a Select object. For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems has been fixed in version 1.0.1-4+lenny2. For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.16-1. We recommend that you upgrade your webkit package.
