Mozilla Firefox < 125.0

critical Nessus Plugin ID 193365

Language:

Synopsis

A web browser installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Firefox installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 125.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2024-18 advisory.

 - The executable file warning was not presented when downloading .xrm-ms files. Note: This issue only affected Windows operating systems. Other operating systems are unaffected. (CVE-2024-3863)

 - GetBoundName could return the wrong version of an object when JIT optimizations were applied.
 (CVE-2024-3852)

 - Memory corruption in the networking stack could have led to a potentially exploitable crash.
 (CVE-2024-5702)

 - A use-after-free could result if a JavaScript realm was in the process of being initialized when a garbage collection started. (CVE-2024-3853)

 - In some code patterns the JIT incorrectly optimized switch statements and generated code with out-of- bounds-reads. (CVE-2024-3854)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Mozilla Firefox version 125.0 or later.
