Mozilla Firefox < 125.0

critical Nessus Plugin ID 193366

Synopsis

A web browser installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Firefox installed on the remote Windows 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.
