Summary

The LoadBuffer implementation in Google V8, as used in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.75, mishandles data types, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code that triggers an out-of-bounds write operation, related to compiler/pipeline.cc and compiler/simplified-lowering.cc.

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.

"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)");
