Synopsis
The remote Oracle Linux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The remote Oracle Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2022-4872 advisory.- Mozilla: Browser window spoof using fullscreen mode (CVE-2022-31738)
- Mozilla developers Andrew McCreight, Nicolas B. Pierron, and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 100 and Firefox ESR 91.9. 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. (CVE-2022-31747)
- Mozilla: Cross-Origin resource's length leaked (CVE-2022-31736)
- A malicious webpage could have caused an out-of-bounds write in WebGL, leading to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2022-31737)
- On arm64, WASM code could have resulted in incorrect assembly generation leading to a register allocation problem, and a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2022-31740)
- Mozilla: Uninitialized variable leads to invalid memory read (CVE-2022-31741)
- Mozilla: Querying a WebAuthn token with a large number of allowCredential entries may have leaked cross- origin information (CVE-2022-31742)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
