Vulnerability Details

IBM SONAS is shipped with Mozilla Firefox. There are vulnerabilities in certain versions of Mozilla Firefox shipped in certain versions of IBM SONAS. These vulnerabilities concern the potential ability of a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system or cause a denial of service.

CVEID: CVE-2018-5183 DESCRIPTION: Mozilla Firefox could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by multiple memory corruptions in the Skia library. By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted Web site, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using unknown attack vectors to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system or cause a denial of service.
