firefox security update

Mozilla Firefox is a standalone web browser, designed for standards compliance and performance. Its functionality can be enhanced via a plethora of extensions.

Security Fix(es):

If an attacker loaded a font using <code>FontFace()</code> on a background worker, a use-after-free could have occurred, leading to a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 107.(CVE-2022-45407)

When downloading an HTML file, if the title of the page was formatted as a filename with a malicious extension, Firefox may have saved the file with that extension, leading to possible system compromise if the downloaded file was later ran. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 107.(CVE-2022-45415)

Because Firefox did not implement the <code>unsafe-hashes</code> CSP directive, an attacker who was able to inject markup into a page otherwise protected by a Content Security Policy may have been able to inject executable script. This would be severely constrained by the specified Content Security Policy of the document. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 108.(CVE-2022-46873)

Mozilla developers Timothy Nikkel, Ashley Hale, and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 105. 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 < 106.(CVE-2022-46885)

firefox vulnerabilities

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 the contents of the addressbar, bypass security restrictions, cross-site tracing or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-45403, CVE-2022-45404, CVE-2022-45405, CVE-2022-45406, CVE-2022-45407, CVE-2022-45408, CVE-2022-45409, CVE-2022-45410, CVE-2022-45411, CVE-2022-45413, CVE-2022-40674, CVE-2022-45418, CVE-2022-45419, CVE-2022-45420, CVE-2022-45421)

Armin Ebert discovered that Firefox did not properly manage while resolving file symlink. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted weblink, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-45412)

Jefferson Scher and Jayateertha Guruprasad discovered that Firefox did not properly sanitize the HTML download file extension under certain circumstances. If a user were tricked into downloading and executing malicious content, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the programs. (CVE-2022-45415)

Erik Kraft, Martin Schwarzl, and Andrew McCreight discovered that Firefox incorrectly handled keyboard events. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a timing side-channel attack and possibly figure out which keys are being pressed. (CVE-2022-45416)

Kagami discovered that Firefox did not detect Private Browsing Mode correctly. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information about Private Browsing Mode. (CVE-2022-45417)
