Alpine: multiple firefox-esr packages: security update to 102.3.0-r0

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 404397

Description

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

- Mozilla developers Nika Layzell, Timothy Nikkel, Sebastian Hengst, Andreas Pehrson, and the Mozilla
Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 104 and Firefox ESR 102.2. 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 < 102.3, Thunderbird < 102.3, and
Firefox < 105. (CVE-2022-40962)

- An out-of-bounds read can occur when decoding H264 video. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.
This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.3, Thunderbird < 102.3, and Firefox < 105. (CVE-2022-3266)

- When injecting an HTML base element, some requests would ignore the CSP's base-uri settings and accept the
injected element's base instead. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.3, Thunderbird < 102.3, and
Firefox < 105. (CVE-2022-40956)

- Inconsistent data in instruction and data cache when creating wasm code could lead to a potentially
exploitable crash.<br>*This bug only affects Firefox on ARM64 platforms.*. This vulnerability affects
Firefox ESR < 102.3, Thunderbird < 102.3, and Firefox < 105. (CVE-2022-40957)

- By injecting a cookie with certain special characters, an attacker on a shared subdomain which is not a
secure context could set and thus overwrite cookies from a secure context, leading to session fixation and
other attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.3, Thunderbird < 102.3, and Firefox < 105.
(CVE-2022-40958)
