Summary

fxcodec/codec/fx_codec_jpx_opj.cpp in PDFium, as used in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.75, does not properly implement the sycc420_to_rgb and sycc422_to_rgb functions, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via crafted JPEG 2000 data in a PDF document.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Subverting Environment Variable Values
    The attacker directly or indirectly modifies environment variables used by or controlling the target software. The attacker's goal is to cause the target software to deviate from its expected operation in a manner that benefits the attacker.
  • Footprinting
    An attacker engages in probing and exploration activity to identify constituents and properties of the target. Footprinting is a general term to describe a variety of information gathering techniques, often used by attackers in preparation for some attack. It consists of using tools to learn as much as possible about the composition, configuration, and security mechanisms of the targeted application, system or network. Information that might be collected during a footprinting effort could include open ports, applications and their versions, network topology, and similar information. While footprinting is not intended to be damaging (although certain activities, such as network scans, can sometimes cause disruptions to vulnerable applications inadvertently) it may often pave the way for more damaging attacks.
  • Exploiting Trust in Client (aka Make the Client Invisible)
    An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities in client/server communication channel authentication and data integrity. It leverages the implicit trust a server places in the client, or more importantly, that which the server believes is the client. An attacker executes this type of attack by placing themselves in the communication channel between client and server such that communication directly to the server is possible where the server believes it is communicating only with a valid client. There are numerous variations of this type of attack.
  • Browser Fingerprinting
    An attacker carefully crafts small snippets of Java Script to efficiently detect the type of browser the potential victim is using. Many web-based attacks need prior knowledge of the web browser including the version of browser to ensure successful exploitation of a vulnerability. Having this knowledge allows an attacker to target the victim with attacks that specifically exploit known or zero day weaknesses in the type and version of the browser used by the victim. Automating this process via Java Script as a part of the same delivery system used to exploit the browser is considered more efficient as the attacker can supply a browser fingerprinting method and integrate it with exploit code, all contained in Java Script and in response to the same web page request by the browser.
  • Session Credential Falsification through Prediction
    This attack targets predictable session ID in order to gain privileges. The attacker can predict the session ID used during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking.

    "The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Windows host is
    prior to 50.0.2661.75. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
    vulnerabilities :
    
      - An out-of-bounds read error exists in PDFium in the
        sycc420_to_rgb() and sycc422_to_rgb() functions within
        file fxcodec/codec/fx_codec_jpx_opj.cpp that is
        triggered when decoding JPEG2000 images. An
        unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to
        cause a denial of service or disclose memory contents.
        (CVE-2016-1651)
    
      - A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists due to
        a failure by extension bindings to validate input before
        returning it to users. An unauthenticated, remote
        attacker can exploit this, via a crafted request, to
        execute arbitrary script code in the user's browser
        session. (CVE-2016-1652)
    
      - An out-of-bounds write error exists in Google V8,
        related to the LoadBuffer operator, that is triggered
        when handling typed arrays. An unauthenticated, remote
        attacker can exploit this to corrupt memory, resulting
        in a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary
        code. (CVE-2016-1653)
    
      - An uninitialized memory read error exists in media
        that allows an attacker to have an unspecified impact.
        No other details are available. (CVE-2016-1654)
    
      - A use-after-free error exists in extensions that is
        triggered when handling frame removal by content
        scripts. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit
        this to dereference already freed memory, resulting in
        arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2016-1655)
    
      - A flaw exists, related to content disposition, due to
        the improper sanitization of the names of downloaded
        files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit
        this to bypass path restrictions. (CVE-2016-1656)
    
      - A flaw exists in the FocusLocationBarByDefault()
        function of the WebContentsImpl class within the file
        content/browser/web_contents/web_contents_impl.cc that
        allows an authenticated, remote attacker to spoof the
        address bar. (CVE-2016-1657)
    
      - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an
        unauthenticated, remote attacker to access sensitive
        information by using malicious extensions.
        (CVE-2016-1658)
    
      - Multiple vulnerabilities exist in Chrome, the most
        serious of which allow an unauthenticated, remote
        attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1659)");
