Alpine: multiple firefox packages: security update to 87.0-r0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 404379

Description

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

- Mozilla developers reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 86. 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. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 87. (CVE-2021-23988)

- If Content Security Policy blocked frame navigation, the full destination of a redirect served in the
frame was reported in the violation report; as opposed to the original frame URI. This could be used to
leak sensitive information contained in such URIs. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 86, Thunderbird <
78.8, and Firefox ESR < 78.8. (CVE-2021-23968)

- As specified in the W3C Content Security Policy draft, when creating a violation report, "User agents need
to ensure that the source file is the URL requested by the page, pre-redirects. If that’s not possible,
user agents need to strip the URL down to an origin to avoid unintentional leakage." Under certain types
of redirects, Firefox incorrectly set the source file to be the destination of the redirects. This was
fixed to be the redirect destination's origin. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 86, Thunderbird <
78.8, and Firefox ESR < 78.8. (CVE-2021-23969)

- Context-specific code was included in a shared jump table; resulting in assertions being triggered in
multithreaded wasm code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 86. (CVE-2021-23970)

- When processing a redirect with a conflicting Referrer-Policy, Firefox would have adopted the redirect's
Referrer-Policy. This would have potentially resulted in more information than intended by the original
origin being provided to the destination of the redirect. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 86.
