The version of Microsoft Edge installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 116.0.1938.98 / 117.0.2045.47. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the September 29, 2023 advisory.

  • There exists a use after free/double free in libwebp. An attacker can use the ApplyFiltersAndEncode() function and loop through to free best.bw and assign best = trial pointer. The second loop will then return 0 because of an Out of memory error in VP8 encoder, the pointer is still assigned to trial and the AddressSanitizer will attempt a double free. (CVE-2023-1999)

  • Use after free in Passwords in Google Chrome prior to 117.0.5938.132 allowed a remote attacker who convinced a user to engage in specific UI interaction to potentially exploit heap corruption via crafted UI interaction. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2023-5186)

  • Use after free in Extensions in Google Chrome prior to 117.0.5938.132 allowed an attacker who convinced a user to install a malicious extension to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page.
    (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2023-5187)

  • Heap buffer overflow in vp8 encoding in libvpx in Google Chrome prior to 117.0.5938.132 and libvpx 1.13.1 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2023-5217)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
