CVE-2023-37212

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):

When loading a script with Subresource Integrity, attackers with an injection capability could trigger the reuse of previously cached entries with incorrect, different integrity metadata. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 103.(CVE-2022-36315)

When using the Performance API, an attacker was able to notice subtle differences between PerformanceEntries and thus learn whether the target URL had been subject to a redirect. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 103.(CVE-2022-36316)

An attacker could have written a value to the first element in a zero-length JavaScript array. Although the array was zero-length, the value was not written to an invalid memory address. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 104.(CVE-2022-38475)

Service Workers did not detect Private Browsing Mode correctly in all cases, which could have led to Service Workers being written to disk for websites visited in Private Browsing Mode. This would not have persisted them in a state where they would run again, but it would have leaked Private Browsing Mode details to disk. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 107.(CVE-2022-45417)

If the user added a security exception for an invalid TLS certificate, opened an ongoing TLS connection with a server that used that certificate, and then deleted the exception, Firefox would have kept the connection alive, making it seem like the certificate was still trusted. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 107.(CVE-2022-45419)

Mozilla developers and community members Lukas Bernhard, Gabriele Svelto, Randell Jesup, and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 107. 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 < 108.(CVE-2022-46879)

Mozilla developers Gabriele Svelto, Yulia Startsev, Andrew McCreight and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 106. 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.<br />Note: This advisory was added on December 13th, 2022 after discovering it was inadvertently left out of the original advisory. The fix was included in the original release of Firefox 107. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 107.(CVE-2022-46883)

Due to URL previews in the network panel of developer tools improperly storing URLs, query parameters could potentially be used to overwrite global objects in privileged code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 110.(CVE-2023-25731)

The return value from gfx::SourceSurfaceSkia::Map() wasn't being verified which could have potentially lead to a null pointer dereference. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 110.(CVE-2023-25733)

An invalid downcast from nsHTMLDocument to nsIContent could have lead to undefined behavior. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 110.(CVE-2023-25736)

Under certain circumstances, a ServiceWorker's offline cache may have leaked to the file system when using private browsing mode. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 111.(CVE-2023-25750)

When following a redirect to a publicly accessible web extension file, the URL may have been translated to the actual local path, leaking potentially sensitive information. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 111.(CVE-2023-28160)

Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 110. 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 < 111.(CVE-2023-28177)

Multiple race conditions in the font initialization could have led to memory corruption…

Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 114. 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 < 115.

These are all security issues fixed in the MozillaFirefox-115.0-1.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

These are all security issues fixed in the firefox-esr-128.5.1-1.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

This update for MozillaFirefox, MozillaFirefox-branding-SLE fixes the following issues:

Changes in MozillaFirefox and MozillaFirefox-branding-SLE:

This update provides Firefox Extended Support Release 115.0 ESR

• New:

  • Required fields are now highlighted in PDF forms.
  • Improved performance on high-refresh rate monitors (120Hz+).
  • Buttons in the Tabs toolbar can now be reached with Tab, Shift+Tab, and Arrow keys. View this article for additional details.
  • Windows' 'Make text bigger' accessibility setting now affects all the UI and content pages, rather than only applying to system font sizes.
  • Non-breaking spaces are now preserved—preventing automatic line breaks—when copying text from a form control.
  • Fixed WebGL performance issues on NVIDIA binary drivers via DMA-Buf on Linux.
  • Fixed an issue in which Firefox startup could be significantly slowed down by the processing of Web content local storage. This had the greatest impact on users with platter hard drives and significant local storage.
  • Removed a configuration option to allow SHA-1 signatures in certificates: SHA-1 signatures in certificates—long since determined to no longer be secure enough—are now not supported.
  • Highlight color is preserved correctly after typing Enter in the mail composer of Yahoo Mail and Outlook. After bypassing the https only error page navigating back would take you to the error page that was previously dismissed. Back now takes you to the previous site that was visited.
  • Paste unformatted shortcut (shift+ctrl/cmd+v) now works in plain text contexts, such as input and text area.
  • Added an option to print only the current page from the print preview dialog.
  • Swipe to navigate (two fingers on a touchpad swiped left or right to perform history back or forward) on Windows is now enabled.
  • Stability on Windows is significantly improved as Firefox handles low-memory situations much better.
  • Touchpad scrolling on macOS was made more accessible by reducing unintended diagonal scrolling opposite of the intended scroll axis.
  • Firefox is less likely to run out of memory on Linux and performs more efficiently for the rest of the system when memory runs low.
  • It is now possible to edit PDFs: including writing text, drawing, and adding signatures.
  • Setting Firefox as your default browser now also makes it the default PDF application on Windows systems.
  • Swipe-to-navigate (two fingers on a touchpad swiped left or right to perform history back or forward) now works for Linux users on Wayland.
  • Text Recognition in images allows users on macOS 10.15 and higher to extract text from the selected image (such as a meme or screenshot).
  • Firefox View helps you get back to content you previously discovered. A pinned tab allows you to find and open recently closed tabs on your current device and access tabs from other devices (via our “Tab Pickup” feature).
  • Import maps, which allow web pages to control the behavior of JavaScript imports, are now enabled by default.
  • Processes used for background tabs now use efficiency mode on Windows 11 to limit resource use.
  • The shift+esc keyboard shortcut now opens the Process Manager, offering a way to quickly identify processes that are using too many resources.
  • Firefox now supports properly color correcting images tagged with ICCv4 profiles.
  • Support for non-English characters when saving and printing PDF forms.
  • The bookmarks toolbar's default 'Only show on New Tab' state works correctly for blank new tabs. As before, you can change the bookmark toolbar's behavior using the toolbar context menu.
  • Manifest Version 3 (MV3) extension support is now enabled by default (MV2 remains enabled/supported). This major update also ushers an exciting user…
