Alpine: multiple firefox-esr packages: security update to 102.9.0-r0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 426312

Description

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

- Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 110 and Firefox ESR 102.8. 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 < 111, Firefox ESR < 102.9, and Thunderbird < 102.9.
(CVE-2023-28176)

- Sometimes, when invalidating JIT code while following an iterator, the newly generated code could be
overwritten incorrectly. This could lead to a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects
Firefox < 111, Firefox ESR < 102.9, and Thunderbird < 102.9. (CVE-2023-25751)

- When accessing throttled streams, the count of available bytes needed to be checked in the calling
function to be within bounds. This may have lead future code to be incorrect and vulnerable. This
vulnerability affects Firefox < 111, Firefox ESR < 102.9, and Thunderbird < 102.9. (CVE-2023-25752)

- While implementing AudioWorklets, some code may have casted one type to another, invalid, dynamic type.
This could have led to a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 111, Firefox
ESR < 102.9, and Thunderbird < 102.9. (CVE-2023-28162)

- When downloading files through the Save As dialog on Windows with suggested filenames containing
environment variable names, Windows would have resolved those in the context of the current user.
<br>*This bug only affects Firefox on Windows. Other versions of Firefox are unaffected.*. This
vulnerability affects Firefox < 111, Firefox ESR < 102.9, and Thunderbird < 102.9. (CVE-2023-28163)
