Alpine: multiple firefox-esr packages: security update to 115.9.0-r0

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 408326

Description

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

- Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 123, Firefox ESR 115.8, and Thunderbird 115.8. 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 < 124, Firefox ESR < 115.9, and
Thunderbird < 115.9. (CVE-2024-2614)

- NSS was susceptible to a timing side-channel attack when performing RSA decryption. This attack could
potentially allow an attacker to recover the private data. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124,
Firefox ESR < 115.9, and Thunderbird < 115.9. (CVE-2023-5388)

- An unchecked return value in TLS handshake code could have caused a potentially exploitable crash. This
vulnerability affects Firefox < 122, Firefox ESR < 115.9, and Thunderbird < 115.9. (CVE-2024-0743)

- An attacker could have leveraged the Windows Error Reporter to run arbitrary code on the system escaping
the sandbox. *Note:* This issue only affected Windows operating systems. Other operating systems are
unaffected. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124, Firefox ESR < 115.9, and Thunderbird < 115.9.
(CVE-2024-2605)

- Return registers were overwritten which could have allowed an attacker to execute arbitrary code. *Note:*
This issue only affected Armv7-A systems. Other operating systems are unaffected. This vulnerability
affects Firefox < 124, Firefox ESR < 115.9, and Thunderbird < 115.9. (CVE-2024-2607)
