Information disclosure

The implementation of the Page.downloadBehavior backend unconditionally marked downloaded files as safe, regardless of file type in Google Chrome prior to 66.0.3359.117 allowed an attacker who convinced a user to install a malicious extension to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted...

Design/Logic Flaw

In LibSass prior to 3.5.5, functions inside ast.cpp for IMPLEMENTASTOPERATORS expansion allow attackers to cause a denial-of-service resulting from stack consumption via a crafted sass file, as demonstrated by recursive calls involving clone, cloneChildren, and copy...

CVE-2018-4039

An exploitable out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in the PNG implementation of Atlantis Word Processor, version 3.2.7.2. This can allow an attacker to corrupt memory, which can result in code execution under the context of the application. An attacker must convince a victim to open a...
