Summary

Multiple integer overflows in the (1) sycc422_to_rgb and (2) sycc444_to_rgb functions in fxcodec/codec/fx_codec_jpx_opj.cpp in PDFium, as used in Google Chrome before 48.0.2564.82, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PDF document.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Overflow Buffers
    Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
  • Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow
    This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
  • Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow
    In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
  • MIME Conversion
    An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

    descriptionThe version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 48.0.2564.82. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A unspecified vulnerability exists in Google V8 when handling compatible receiver checks hidden behind receptors. An attacker can exploit this to have an unspecified impact. No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1612) - A user-after-free error exists in PDFium due to improper invalidation of IPWL_FocusHandler and IPWL_Provider upon destruction. An attacker can exploit this to deference already freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1613) - An unspecified vulnerability exists in Blink that is related to the handling of bitmaps. An attacker can exploit this to access sensitive information. No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1614) - An unspecified vulnerability exists in omnibox that is related to origin confusion. An attacker can exploit this to have an unspecified impact. No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1615) - An unspecified vulnerability exists that allows an attacker to spoof a displayed URL. No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1616) - An unspecified vulnerability exists that is related to history sniffing with HSTS and CSP. No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1617) - A flaw exists in Blink due to the weak generation of random numbers by the ARC4-based random number generator. An attacker can exploit this to gain access to sensitive information. No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1618) - A out-of-bounds read error exists in PDFium in file fx_codec_jpx_opj.cpp in the sycc4{22,44}_to_rgb() functions. An attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service by crashing the application linked using the library. (CVE-2016-1619) - Multiple vulnerabilities exist, the most serious of which allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web page. (CVE-2016-1620)

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. Chromium is an open source web browser, powered by WebKit (Blink). Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web page containing malicious content could cause Chromium to crash, execute arbitrary code, or disclose sensitive information when visited by the victim.
