Description

• CVE-2018-18335 (arbitrary code execution)

A heap-based buffer overflow has been found in the Skia component of
chromium before 71.0.3578.80 and thunderbird before 60.5.1.

• CVE-2018-18356 (arbitrary code execution)

A use-after-free has been found in the Skia component of chromium
before 71.0.3578.80 and firefox before 65.0.1 and thunderbird before
60.5.1.

• CVE-2018-18509 (insufficient validation)

A flaw during verification of certain S/MIME signatures causes emails
to be shown in Thunderbird before 60.5.1 as having a valid digital
signature, even if the shown message contents aren’t covered by the
signature. The flaw allows an attacker to reuse a valid S/MIME
signature to craft an email message with arbitrary content.

An integer overflow issue has been found in the Skia component of
firefox before 65.0.1 and thunderbird before 60.5.1.

message with arbitrary content, and execute arbitrary code through
skia.
