Synopsis

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

Description

The version of Firefox ESR installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 128.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2024-35 advisory.

- Incorrect garbage collection interaction in IndexedDB could have led to a use-after-free. (CVE-2024-7528)

- Insufficient checks when processing graphics shared memory could have led to memory corruption. This could be leveraged by an attacker to perform a sandbox escape. (CVE-2024-7519)

- Select options could obscure the fullscreen notification dialog. This could be used by a malicious site to perform a spoofing attack. (CVE-2024-7518)

- A type confusion bug in WebAssembly could be leveraged by an attacker to potentially achieve code execution. (CVE-2024-7520)

- Incomplete WebAssembly exception handing could have led to a use-after-free. (CVE-2024-7521)

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 ESR version 128.1 or later.
