Attack vector
NETWORK Attack complexity
LOW Privileges required
NONE Confidentiality impact
HIGH Integrity impact
HIGH Availability impact
HIGH Summary
The Web Cryptography API (aka WebCrypto) implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 52.0.2743.116, does not properly copy data buffers, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code, related to NormalizeAlgorithm.cpp and SubtleCrypto.cpp.

(CVE-2016-5142) It was discovered that the devtools subsystem in Blink mishandles various parameters. An attacker could exploit this to bypass intended access restrictions. (CVE-2016-5143, CVE-2016-5144) It was discovered that Blink does not ensure that a taint property is preserved after a structure-clone operation on an ImageBitmap object derived from a cross-origin image. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass same origin restrictions. (CVE-2016-5145) Multiple security issues were discovered in Chromium. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to read uninitialized memory, cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5146, CVE-2016-5167) It was discovered that Blink mishandles deferred page loads. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

(CVE-2016-5139) - An overflow condition exists in OpenJPEG due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5140) - A flaw exists that is triggered when nested message loops access documents without generating a notification. An attacker can exploit this to spoof the address bar. (CVE-2016-5141) - A use-after-free error exists that allows an attacker to dereference already freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5142) - A flaw exists in the sanitizeRemoteFrontendUrl() function in devtools.js due to a failure to properly sanitize input parameters. An attacker can exploit this to have an unspecified impact. (CVE-2016-5143) - A flaw exists in the loadScriptsPromise() function in Runtime.js due to a failure to properly sanitize input parameters. An attacker can exploit this to have an unspecified impact. (CVE-2016-5144) - A flaw exists due to improper handling of specially crafted images. An attacker can exploit this to bypass the same-origin policy. (CVE-2016-5145) - Multiple unspecified high and medium severity vulnerabilities exist, including an overflow condition in WebRTC due to improper validation user-supplied input when handling RTP packets.
