Oracle Linux 8 : firefox (ELSA-2023-1336)

high Nessus Plugin ID 173035

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-2023-1336 advisory.

 - Sometimes, when invalidating JIT code while following an iterator, the newly generated code could be overwritten incorrectly. This could lead to a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2023-25751)

 - When accessing throttled streams, the count of available bytes needed to be checked in the calling function to be within bounds. This may have lead future code to be incorrect and vulnerable.
 (CVE-2023-25752)

 - While implementing AudioWorklets, some code may have casted one type to another, invalid, dynamic type.
 This could have led to a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2023-28162)

 - Mozilla developers Timothy Nikkel, Andrew McCreight, and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Thunderbird 102.8. 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. (CVE-2023-28176)

 - Dragging a URL from a cross-origin iframe that was removed during the drag could have led to user confusion and website spoofing attacks. (CVE-2023-28164)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected firefox package.
