Alpine: multiple firefox-esr packages: security update to 102.2.0-r0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 426728

Description

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

- An attacker could have abused XSLT error handling to associate attacker-controlled content with another
origin which was displayed in the address bar. This could have been used to fool the user into submitting
data intended for the spoofed origin. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 102.2, Thunderbird < 91.13,
Firefox ESR < 91.13, Firefox ESR < 102.2, and Firefox < 104. (CVE-2022-38472)

- A cross-origin iframe referencing an XSLT document would inherit the parent domain's permissions (such as
microphone or camera access). This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 102.2, Thunderbird < 91.13, Firefox
ESR < 91.13, Firefox ESR < 102.2, and Firefox < 104. (CVE-2022-38473)

- A data race could occur in the <code>PK11_ChangePW</code> function, potentially leading to a use-after-
free vulnerability. In Firefox, this lock protected the data when a user changed their master password.
This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.2 and Thunderbird < 102.2. (CVE-2022-38476)

- Mozilla developer Nika Layzell and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox
103 and Firefox ESR 102.1. 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 ESR < 102.2, Thunderbird < 102.2, and Firefox < 104. (CVE-2022-38477)

- Members the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 103, Firefox ESR 102.1,
and Firefox ESR 91.12. 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
Thunderbird < 102.2, Thunderbird < 91.13, Firefox ESR < 91.13, Firefox ESR < 102.2, and Firefox < 104.
