Mozilla Firefox ESR < 115.17

critical Nessus Plugin ID 209860

Synopsis

A web browser installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Firefox ESR installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 115.17. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2024-57 advisory.

 - A permission leak could have occurred from a trusted site to an untrusted site via <code>embed</code> or <code>object</code> elements. (CVE-2024-10458)

 - An attacker could have caused a use-after-free when accessibility was enabled, leading to a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2024-10459)

 - Video frames could have been leaked between origins in some situations. (CVE-2024-10463)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Mozilla Firefox ESR version 115.17 or later.
