Amazon Linux 2 : firefox (ALASFIREFOX-2024-032)

high Nessus Plugin ID 210926

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of firefox installed on the remote host is prior to 115.17.0-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2FIREFOX-2024-032 advisory.

A permission leak could have occurred from a trusted site to an untrusted site via `embed` or `object` elements. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 132, Firefox ESR < 128.4, Firefox ESR < 115.17, Thunderbird < 128.4, and Thunderbird < 132. (CVE-2024-10458)

An attacker could have caused a use-after-free when accessibility was enabled, leading to a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 132, Firefox ESR < 128.4, Firefox ESR < 115.17, Thunderbird < 128.4, and Thunderbird < 132. (CVE-2024-10459)

Video frames could have been leaked between origins in some situations. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 132, Firefox ESR < 128.4, Firefox ESR < 115.17, Thunderbird < 128.4, and Thunderbird < 132.
(CVE-2024-10463)

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.

Solution
