Security Fix(es):

Mozilla developers reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox for Android 79. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 80, Firefox ESR < 78.2, Thunderbird < 78.2, and Firefox for Android < 80.(CVE-2020-15670)

Mozilla developers reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 80 and Firefox ESR 78.2. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 81, Thunderbird < 78.3, and Firefox ESR < 78.3.(CVE-2020-15673)

Mozilla developers reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 80. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 81.(CVE-2020-15674)

When processing surfaces, the lifetime may outlive a persistent buffer leading to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 81.(CVE-2020-15675)

If a valid external protocol handler was referenced in an image tag, the resulting broken image size could be distinguished from a broken image size of a non-existent protocol handler. This allowed an attacker to successfully probe whether an external protocol handler was registered. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 82.(CVE-2020-15680)

When multiple WASM threads had a reference to a module, and were looking up exported functions, one WASM thread could have overwritten another's entry in a shared stub table, resulting in a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 82.(CVE-2020-15681)

When a link to an external protocol was clicked, a prompt was presented that allowed the user to choose what application to open it in. An attacker could induce that prompt to be associated with an origin they didn't control, resulting in a spoofing attack. This was fixed by changing external protocol prompts to be tab-modal while also ensuring they could not be incorrectly associated with a different origin. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 82.(CVE-2020-15682)

Mozilla developers and community members reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 81 and Firefox ESR 78.3. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code.

Thunderbird ignored the configuration to require STARTTLS security for an SMTP connection. A MITM could perform a downgrade attack to intercept transmitted messages, or could take control of the authenticated session to execute SMTP commands chosen by the MITM. If an unprotected authentication method was configured, the MITM could obtain the authentication credentials, too (CVE-2021-38502).

• New: Some of the highlights of the new Extended Support Release are:
  • A number of user interface changes. For more information, see the Firefox 89 release notes.
  • Firefox now supports logging into Microsoft, work, and school accounts using Windows single sign-on. Learn more
  • On Windows, updates can now be applied in the background while Firefox is not running.
  • Firefox for Windows now offers a new page about:third-party to help identify compatibility issues caused by third-party applications
  • Version 2 of Firefox's SmartBlock feature further improves private browsing. Third party Facebook scripts are blocked to prevent you from being tracked, but are now automatically loaded 'just in time' if you decide to 'Log in with Facebook' on any website.
  • Enhanced the privacy of the Firefox Browser's Private Browsing mode with Total Cookie Protection, which confines cookies to the site where they were created, preventing companis from using cookies to track your browsing across sites. This feature was originally launched in Firefox's ETP Strict mode.
  • PDF forms now support JavaScript embedded in PDF files. Some PDF forms use JavaScript for validation and other interactive features.
  • You'll encounter less website breakage in Private Browsing and Strict Enhanced Tracking Protection with SmartBlock, which provides stand-in scripts so that websites load properly.
  • Improved Print functionality with a cleaner design and better integration with your computer's printer settings.

  • Firefox now remembers your preferred location for saved bookmarks, displays the bookmarks toolbar by default on new tabs, and gives you easy access to all of your bookmarks via a toolbar folder.
  • Native support for macOS devices built with Apple Silicon CPUs brings dramatic performance improvements over the non- native build that was shipped in Firefox 83: Firefox launches over 2.5 times faster and web apps are now twice as responsive (per the SpeedoMeter 2.0 test).…

Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, spoof another origin, or execute arbitrary code.

Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted website in a browsing context, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information, trick a user into accepting unwanted permissions, conduct header splitting attacks, conduct spoofing attacks, bypass security restrictions, confuse the user, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-4129, CVE-2021-4140, CVE-2021-29981, CVE-2021-29982, CVE-2021-29987, CVE-2021-29991, CVE-2021-38495, CVE-2021-38496, CVE-2021-38497, CVE-2021-38498, CVE-2021-38500, CVE-2021-38501, CVE-2021-38503, CVE-2021-38504, CVE-2021-38506, CVE-2021-38507, CVE-2021-38508, CVE-2021-38509, CVE-2021-43534, CVE-2021-43535, CVE-2021-43536, CVE-2021-43537, CVE-2021-43538, CVE-2021-43539, CVE-2021-43541, CVE-2021-43542, CVE-2021-43543, CVE-2021-43545, CVE-2021-43656, CVE-2022-22737, CVE-2022-22738, CVE-2022-22739, CVE-2022-22740, CVE-2022-22741, CVE-2022-22742, CVE-2022-22743, CVE-2022-22745, CVE-2022-22747, CVE-2022-22748, CVE-2022-22751)

It was discovered that Thunderbird ignored the configuration to require STARTTLS for an SMTP connection. A person-in-the-middle could potentially exploit this to perform a downgrade attack in order to intercept messages or take control of a session. (CVE-2021-38502)

It was discovered that JavaScript was unexpectedly enabled in the composition area. An attacker could potentially exploit this in combination with another vulnerability, with unspecified impacts. (CVE-2021-43528)

A buffer overflow was discovered in the Matrix chat library bundled with Thunderbird. An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-44538)

It was discovered that Thunderbird's OpenPGP integration only considered the inner signed message when checking signature validity in a message that contains an additional outer MIME layer. An attacker could potentially exploit this to trick the user into thinking that a message has a valid signature. (CVE-2021-4126)
