Alpine: multiple firefox-esr packages: security update to 115.5.0-r0

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 408047

Description

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

- Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 119, Firefox ESR 115.4, and Thunderbird 115.4. 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 < 120, Firefox ESR < 115.5.0, and
Thunderbird < 115.5. (CVE-2023-6212)

- It was possible for certain browser prompts and dialogs to be activated or dismissed unintentionally by
the user due to an insufficient activation-delay. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 119, Firefox ESR <
115.4, and Thunderbird < 115.4.1. (CVE-2023-5721)

- Drivers are not always robust to extremely large draw calls and in some cases this scenario could have led
to a crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 119, Firefox ESR < 115.4, and Thunderbird < 115.4.1.
(CVE-2023-5724)

- A malicious installed WebExtension could open arbitrary URLs, which under the right circumstance could be
leveraged to collect sensitive user data. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 119, Firefox ESR < 115.4,
and Thunderbird < 115.4.1. (CVE-2023-5725)

- A website could have obscured the full screen notification by using the file open dialog. This could have
led to user confusion and possible spoofing attacks. *Note: This issue only affected macOS operating
systems. Other operating systems are unaffected.* This vulnerability affects Firefox < 119, Firefox ESR <
115.4, and Thunderbird < 115.4.1. (CVE-2023-5726)
