Multiple Vulnerabilities in Google Chrome Could Allow for Arbitrary Code Execution

Read Time:28 Second

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Google Chrome, the most severe of which could allow for arbitrary code execution. Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow for arbitrary code execution in the context of the logged on user. Depending on the privileges associated with the user an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.

USN-7149-1: Intel Microcode vulnerabilities

Read Time:48 Second

Avraham Shalev and Nagaraju N Kodalapura discovered that some Intel(R)
Xeon(R) processors did not properly restrict access to the memory
controller when using Intel(R) SGX. This may allow a local privileged
attacker to further escalate their privileges. (CVE-2024-21820,
CVE-2024-23918)

It was discovered that some 4th and 5th Generation Intel(R) Xeon(R)
Processors did not properly implement finite state machines (FSMs) in
hardware logic. THis may allow a local privileged attacker to cause a
denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-21853)

It was discovered that some Intel(R) Processors did not properly restrict
access to the Running Average Power Limit (RAPL) interface. This may allow
a local privileged attacker to obtain sensitive information.
(CVE-2024-23984)

It was discovered that some Intel(R) Processors did not properly implement
finite state machines (FSMs) in hardware logic. This may allow a local
privileged attacker to cause a denial of service (system crash).

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Microsoft products, the most severe of which could allow for remote code execution in the context of the logged-on user. Depending on the privileges associated with the user, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.
