Alpine: multiple firefox-esr packages: security update to 102.12.0-r0

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 404395

Description

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

- The error page for sites with invalid TLS certificates was missing the activation-delay Firefox uses to
protect prompts and permission dialogs from attacks that exploit human response time delays. If a
malicious page elicited user clicks in precise locations immediately before navigating to a site with a
certificate error and made the renderer extremely busy at the same time, it could create a gap between
when the error page was loaded and when the display actually refreshed. With the right timing the elicited
clicks could land in that gap and activate the button that overrides the certificate error for that site.
This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.12, Firefox < 114, and Thunderbird < 102.12. (CVE-2023-34414)

- Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 113, Firefox ESR 102.11, and Thunderbird 102.12. 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 Firefox ESR < 102.12, Firefox < 114, and
Thunderbird < 102.12. (CVE-2023-34416)
