References Bug 1448774 #CVE-2018-5159: Integer overflow and out-of-bounds write in Skia Reporter Ivan Fratric Impact high Description An integer overflow can occur in the Skia library due to 32-bit integer use in an array without integer overflow checks, resulting in possible out-of-bounds writes. This could lead to a potentially exploitable crash triggerable by web content. References Bug 1441941 #CVE-2018-5161: Hang via malformed headers Reporter cure53 Impact moderate Description Crafted message headers can cause a Thunderbird process to hang on receiving the message. References Bug 1411720 #CVE-2018-5162: Encrypted mail leaks plaintext through src attribute Reporter Damian Poddebniak, Christian Dresen, Jens Müller, Fabian Ising, Sebastian Schinzel, Simon Friedberger, Juraj Somorovsky, Jörg Schwenk Impact moderate Description Plaintext of decrypted emails can leak through the src attribute of remote images, or links. References Bug 1457721 #CVE-2018-5170: Filename spoofing for external attachments Reporter cure53 Impact moderate Description It is possible to spoof the filename of an attachment and display an arbitrary attachment name. This could lead to a user opening a remote attachment which is a different file type than expected. References Bug 1411732 #CVE-2018-5168: Lightweight themes can be installed without user interaction Reporter Wladimir Palant Impact moderate Description Sites can bypass security checks on permissions to install lightweight themes by manipulating the baseURI property of the theme element. This could allow a malicious site to install a theme without user interaction which could contain offensive or embarrassing images. References Bug 1449548 #CVE-2018-5174: Windows Defender SmartScreen UI runs with less secure behavior for downloaded files in Windows 10 April 2018 Update Reporter Jimmy Impact moderate Description In the Windows 10 April 2018 Update, Windows Defender SmartScreen honors the SEE_MASK_FLAG_NO_UI flag associated with downloaded files and will not show any UI. Files that are unknown and potentially dangerous will be allowed to run because SmartScreen will not prompt the user for a decision, and if the user is offline all files will be allowed to be opened because Windows won’t prompt the user to ask what to do. Firefox incorrectly sets this flag when downloading files, leading to less secure behavior from SmartScreen. Note: this issue only affects Windows 10 users running the April 2018 update or later. It does not affect other Windows users or other operating systems. References Bug 1447080 #CVE-2018-5178: Buffer overflow during UTF-8 to Unicode string conversion through legacy extension Reporter Root Object Impact moderate Description A buffer overflow was found during UTF8 to Unicode string conversion within JavaScript with extremely large amounts of data.
