Alpine: multiple firefox-esr packages: security update to 78.12.0-r0

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 404441

Description

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

- A malicious webpage could have triggered a use-after-free, memory corruption, and a potentially
exploitable crash. *This bug could only be triggered when accessibility was enabled.*. This vulnerability
affects Thunderbird < 78.12, Firefox ESR < 78.12, and Firefox < 90. (CVE-2021-29970)

- Mozilla developers reported memory safety bugs present in code shared between Firefox and Thunderbird.
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 < 78.12,
Firefox ESR < 78.12, and Firefox < 90. (CVE-2021-29976)

- Out of bounds write in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 91.0.4472.101 allowed a remote attacker to
potentially perform out of bounds memory access via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2021-30547)
