Alpine: multiple firefox-esr packages: security update to 45.6.0

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 404411

Description

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

- HTML tags received from the Pocket server will be processed without sanitization and any JavaScript code
executed will be run in the "about:pocket-saved" (unprivileged) page, giving it access to Pocket's
messaging API through HTML injection. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 45.6 and Firefox < 50.1.
(CVE-2016-9901)

- Memory safety bugs were reported in Thunderbird 45.5. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory
corruption and we presume that with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary
code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 50.1, Firefox ESR < 45.6, and Thunderbird < 45.6.
(CVE-2016-9893)

- Event handlers on "marquee" elements were executed despite a strict Content Security Policy (CSP) that
disallowed inline JavaScript. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 50.1, Firefox ESR < 45.6, and
Thunderbird < 45.6. (CVE-2016-9895)

- Memory corruption resulting in a potentially exploitable crash during WebGL functions using a vector
constructor with a varying array within libGLES. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 50.1, Firefox ESR <
45.6, and Thunderbird < 45.6. (CVE-2016-9897)

- Use-after-free resulting in potentially exploitable crash when manipulating DOM subtrees in the Editor.
This vulnerability affects Firefox < 50.1, Firefox ESR < 45.6, and Thunderbird < 45.6. (CVE-2016-9898)
