When visiting a website with an overly long URL, the user interface would start to hang. Due to session restore, this could lead to a permanent Denial of Service.<br>*This bug only affects Firefox for Android. Other operating systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 103.

The version of firefox installed on the remote host is prior to 115.12.0-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2FIREFOX-2024-026 advisory.

    An attacker could have injected CSS into stylesheets accessible via internal URIs, such as resource:, and     in doing so bypass a page's Content Security Policy. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 91.11,     Thunderbird < 102, Thunderbird < 91.11, and Firefox < 101. (CVE-2022-31744)

    A flaw was found in Mozilla. The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes the issue of when opening     a Windows shortcut from the local filesystem, an attacker could supply a remote path that leads to     unexpected network requests from the operating system. (CVE-2022-36314)

    If a garbage collection was triggered at the right time, a use-after-free could have occurred during     object transplant. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 127 and Firefox ESR < 115.12. (CVE-2024-5688)

    By tricking the browser with a `X-Frame-Options` header, a sandboxed iframe could have presented a button     that, if clicked by a user, would bypass restrictions to open a new window. This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 127 and Firefox ESR < 115.12. (CVE-2024-5691)

    Offscreen Canvas did not properly track cross-origin tainting, which could be used to access image data     from another site in violation of same-origin policy. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 127, Firefox     ESR < 115.12, and Thunderbird < 115.12. (CVE-2024-5693)

    Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 126, Firefox ESR 115.11, and Thunderbird 115.11. 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 < 127 and Firefox ESR < 115.12.
    (CVE-2024-5700)

    Memory corruption in the networking stack could have led to a potentially exploitable crash. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 125 and Firefox ESR < 115.12. (CVE-2024-5702)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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

The version of Firefox installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 103.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2022-28 advisory.

  - When combining CSS properties for overflow and transform, the mouse cursor could interact with different     coordinates than displayed. (CVE-2022-36319)

  - When visiting a website with an overly long URL, the user interface would start to hang. Due to session     restore, this could lead to a permanent Denial of Service. This bug only affects Firefox for Android.
    Other operating systems are unaffected. (CVE-2022-36317)

  - When visiting directory listings for `chrome://` URLs as source text, some parameters were reflected.
    (CVE-2022-36318)

  - When opening a Windows shortcut from the local filesystem, an attacker could supply a remote path that     would lead to unexpected network requests from the operating system. This bug only affects Firefox for     Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected. (CVE-2022-36314)

  - 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. (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. (CVE-2022-36316)

  - Mozilla developers and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 102. 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. (CVE-2022-2505, CVE-2022-36320)
