FreeBSD : mozilla -- memory corruption (b31a4e74-109d-11f0-8195-b42e991fc52e)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 233856

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 b31a4e74-109d-11f0-8195-b42e991fc52e advisory.

[email protected] reports:
CVE-2025-1938: Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 135, Thunderbird 135, Firefox ESR 128.7, and Thunderbird 128.7.
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-2025-1935: A web page could trick a user into setting that site as the default handler for a custom URL protocol.
CVE-2025-1934: It was possible to interrupt the processing of a RegExp bailout and run additional JavaScript, potentially triggering garbage collection when the engine was not expecting it.

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.
