Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Overread Buffers
    An adversary attacks a target by providing input that causes an application to read beyond the boundary of a defined buffer. This typically occurs when a value influencing where to start or stop reading is set to reflect positions outside of the valid memory location of the buffer. This type of attack may result in exposure of sensitive information, a system crash, or arbitrary code execution.

It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities : - A type cast error exists in Blink in the LayoutInline::absoluteVisualRect() function within file layout/LayoutInline.cpp that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an unspecified impact. (CVE-2017-5052) - An out-of-bounds read error exists in V8 in the IndexOfValueImpl() function template within file builtins/builtins-array.cc when handling arrays. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose memory content. (CVE-2017-5053) - A heap buffer overflow condition exists in V8 that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5054) - A use-after-free error exists in the PrintViewManager class within file printing/print_view_manager.cc when handling previews. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to deference already freed memory, resulting in the execution arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5055) - A use-after-free error exists in the Blink that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to dereference already freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
