Alpine: firefox-esr: security update to 52.6.0-r1 (deprecated)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 400709

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

- Memory safety bugs were reported in Firefox ESR 52.6. These bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and
we presume that with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. This
vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 52.7 and Thunderbird < 52.7. (CVE-2018-5145)

- Memory safety bugs were reported in Firefox 58 and Firefox ESR 52.6. Some of these bugs showed evidence of
memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run
arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 52.7, Firefox ESR < 52.7, and Firefox < 59.
(CVE-2018-5125)

- A buffer overflow can occur when manipulating the SVG "animatedPathSegList" through script. This results
in a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 52.7, Firefox ESR < 52.7, and
Firefox < 59. (CVE-2018-5127)

- A lack of parameter validation on IPC messages results in a potential out-of-bounds write through
malformed IPC messages. This can potentially allow for sandbox escape through memory corruption in the
parent process. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 52.7, Firefox ESR < 52.7, and Firefox < 59.
(CVE-2018-5129)

- When packets with a mismatched RTP payload type are sent in WebRTC connections, in some circumstances a
potentially exploitable crash is triggered. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 52.7 and Firefox <
59. (CVE-2018-5130)
