The Firefox installer allows Firefox to be installed to a custom user writable location, leaving it unprotected from manipulation by unprivileged users or malware. If the Mozilla Maintenance Service is manipulated to update this unprotected location and the updated maintenance service in the unprotected location has been altered, the altered maintenance service can run with elevated privileges during the update process due to a lack of integrity checks. This allows for privilege escalation if the executable has been replaced locally. <br>*Note: This attack requires local system access and only affects Windows. Other operating systems are not affected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 69, Firefox ESR < 60.9, and Firefox ESR < 68.1.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2019:14173-1 advisory.

  - Mozilla developers and community members reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 68, Firefox ESR     68, and Firefox 60.8. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with     enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 69, Thunderbird < 68.1, Thunderbird < 60.9, Firefox ESR < 60.9, and Firefox ESR < 68.1.
    (CVE-2019-11740)

  - A same-origin policy violation occurs allowing the theft of cross-origin images through a combination of     SVG filters and a <canvas> element due to an error in how same-origin policy is applied to cached     image content. The resulting same-origin policy violation could allow for data theft. This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 69, Thunderbird < 68.1, Thunderbird < 60.9, Firefox ESR < 60.9, and Firefox ESR < 68.1.
    (CVE-2019-11742)

  - Navigation events were not fully adhering to the W3C's Navigation-Timing Level 2 draft specification in     some instances for the unload event, which restricts access to detailed timing attributes to only be same-     origin. This resulted in potential cross-origin information exposure of history through timing side-     channel attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 69, Thunderbird < 68.1, Thunderbird < 60.9, Firefox     ESR < 60.9, and Firefox ESR < 68.1. (CVE-2019-11743)

  - Some HTML elements, such as <title> and <textarea>, can contain literal angle brackets without     treating them as markup. It is possible to pass a literal closing tag to .innerHTML on these elements, and     subsequent content after that will be parsed as if it were outside the tag. This can lead to XSS if a site     does not filter user input as strictly for these elements as it does for other elements. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 69, Thunderbird < 68.1, Thunderbird < 60.9, Firefox ESR < 60.9, and     Firefox ESR < 68.1. (CVE-2019-11744)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability can occur while manipulating video elements if the body is freed while     still in use. This results in a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 69,     Thunderbird < 68.1, Thunderbird < 60.9, Firefox ESR < 60.9, and Firefox ESR < 68.1. (CVE-2019-11746)

  - It is possible to delete an IndexedDB key value and subsequently try to extract it during conversion. This     results in a use-after-free and a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 69,     Thunderbird < 68.1, Thunderbird < 60.9, Firefox ESR < 60.9, and Firefox ESR < 68.1. (CVE-2019-11752)

  - The Firefox installer allows Firefox to be installed to a custom user writable location, leaving it     unprotected from manipulation by unprivileged users or malware. If the Mozilla Maintenance Service is     manipulated to update this unprotected location and the updated maintenance service in the unprotected     location has been altered, the altered maintenance service can run with elevated privileges during the     update process due to a lack of integrity checks. This allows for privilege escalation if the executable     has been replaced locally. *Note: This attack requires local system access and only affects Windows.
    Other operating systems are not affected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 69, Firefox ESR < 60.9,     and Firefox ESR < 68.1. (CVE-2019-11753)

  - Given a compromised sandboxed content process due to a separate vulnerability, it is possible to escape     that sandbox by loading accounts.firefox.com in that process and forcing a log-in to a malicious Firefox     Sync account. Preference settings that disable the sandbox are then synchronized to the local machine and     the compromised browser would restart without the sandbox if a crash is triggered. This vulnerability     affects Firefox ESR < 60.9, Firefox ESR < 68.1, and Firefox < 69. (CVE-2019-9812)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
