Synopsis
The remote CentOS Linux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The remote CentOS Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:1333 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. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 111, Firefox ESR < 102.9, and Thunderbird < 102.9. (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. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 111, Firefox ESR < 102.9, and Thunderbird < 102.9. (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. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 111, Firefox ESR < 102.9, and Thunderbird < 102.9. (CVE-2023-28162)
- Dragging a URL from a cross-origin iframe that was removed during the drag could have led to user confusion and website spoofing attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 111, Firefox ESR < 102.9, and Thunderbird < 102.9. (CVE-2023-28164)
- Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 110 and Firefox ESR 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. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 111, Firefox ESR < 102.9, and Thunderbird < 102.9.
(CVE-2023-28176)
