#CVE-2018-18500: Use-after-free parsing HTML5 stream
Reporter
Yaniv Frank with SophosLabs
Impact
critical
Description
A use-after-free vulnerability can occur while parsing an HTML5 stream in
concert with custom HTML elements. This results in the stream parser
object being freed while still in use, leading to a potentially
exploitable crash.

#CVE-2018-18505: Privilege escalation through IPC channel messages
Reporter
Jed Davis
Impact
high
Description
An earlier fix for an Inter-process Communication (IPC) vulnerability,
CVE-2011-3079, added authentication to communication between IPC endpoints
and server parents during IPC process creation. This authentication is
insufficient for channels created after the IPC process is started,
leading to the authentication not being correctly applied to later
channels. This could allow for a sandbox escape through IPC channels due
to lack of message validation in the listener process.

Reporter

Impact

Description

attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted ICS
calendar file.

#CVE-2018-18501: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 65, Firefox ESR 60.5,
and Thunderbird 60.5
Reporter
Mozilla developers and community
Impact
critical
Description
Mozilla developers and community members Alex Gaynor, Christoph Diehl,
Steven Crane, Jason Kratzer, Gary Kwong, and Christian Holler reported
memory safety bugs present in Firefox 64, Firefox ESR 60.4, and
Thunderbird 60.4. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption
and we presume that with enough effort that some of these could be
exploited to run arbitrary code.

I'm calling this a critical update, and will work on it and Node.JS
overnight. They'll be in by the end of tomorrow at the latest.
