Rocky Linux 8 : firefox (RLSA-2022:5777)

high Nessus Plugin ID 184657

Synopsis

The remote Rocky Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2022:5777 advisory.

- 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. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.1, Firefox < 103, and Thunderbird < 102.1. (CVE-2022-2505)

- When visiting directory listings for `chrome://` URLs as source text, some parameters were reflected. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.1, Firefox ESR < 91.12, Firefox < 103, Thunderbird < 102.1, and Thunderbird < 91.12. (CVE-2022-36318)

- When combining CSS properties for overflow and transform, the mouse cursor could interact with different coordinates than displayed. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.1, Firefox ESR < 91.12, Firefox < 103, Thunderbird < 102.1, and Thunderbird < 91.12. (CVE-2022-36319)

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

Solution

Update the affected firefox, firefox-debuginfo and / or firefox-debugsource packages.
