Alpine: multiple firefox packages: security update to 97.0-r0

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 404388

Description

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

- Mozilla developers Paul Adenot and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox
96 and Firefox ESR 91.5. 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 < 97, Thunderbird < 91.6, and Firefox ESR < 91.6. (CVE-2022-22764)

- It was possible to construct specific XSLT markup that would be able to bypass an iframe sandbox. This
vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 91.5, Firefox < 96, and Thunderbird < 91.5. (CVE-2021-4140)

- Mozilla developers and community members Gabriele Svelto, Sebastian Hengst, Randell Jesup, Luan Herrera,
Lars T Hansen, and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 96. 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 < 97. (CVE-2022-0511)

- If Firefox was installed to a world-writable directory, a local privilege escalation could occur when
Firefox searched the current directory for system libraries. However the install directory is not world-
writable by default.<br>*This bug only affects Firefox for Windows in a non-default installation. Other
operating systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 96. (CVE-2022-22736)

- Constructing audio sinks could have lead to a race condition when playing audio files and closing windows.
This could have lead to a use-after-free causing a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability
affects Firefox ESR < 91.5, Firefox < 96, and Thunderbird < 91.5. (CVE-2022-22737)
