Alpine: multiple firefox-esr packages: security update to 78.1.0-r0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 427167

Description

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

- Mozilla developers and community members reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 78 and Firefox ESR
78.0. 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 < 79, Firefox
ESR < 68.11, Firefox ESR < 78.1, Thunderbird < 68.11, and Thunderbird < 78.1. (CVE-2020-15659)

- Use after free in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 81.0.4044.122 allowed a remote attacker to potentially
exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2020-6463)

- Inappropriate implementation in WebRTC in Google Chrome prior to 84.0.4147.89 allowed an attacker in a
privileged network position to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted SCTP stream.
(CVE-2020-6514)

- By observing the stack trace for JavaScript errors in web workers, it was possible to leak the result of a
cross-origin redirect. This applied only to content that can be parsed as script. This vulnerability
affects Firefox < 79, Firefox ESR < 68.11, Firefox ESR < 78.1, Thunderbird < 68.11, and Thunderbird <
78.1. (CVE-2020-15652)

- An iframe sandbox element with the allow-popups flag could be bypassed when using noopener links. This
could have led to security issues for websites relying on sandbox configurations that allowed popups and
hosted arbitrary content. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 78.1, Firefox < 79, and Thunderbird <
78.1. (CVE-2020-15653)
