FreeBSD : mozilla -- multiple vulnerabilities (20485d27-e540-11ef-a845-b42e991fc52e)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 215137

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 20485d27-e540-11ef-a845-b42e991fc52e advisory.

[email protected] reports:
A bug in WebAssembly code generation could have lead to a crash.
It may have been possible for an attacker to leverage this to achieve code execution.
A race condition could have led to private browsing tabs being opened in normal browsing windows. This could have resulted in a potential privacy leak.
Certificate length was not properly checked when added to a certificate store. In practice only trusted data was processed.
Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 134, Thunderbird 134, Firefox ESR 128.6, and Thunderbird 128.6. 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.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD 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

Update the affected packages.
