TencentOS Server 3: firefox (TSSA-2024:0251)

high Nessus Plugin ID 238748

Synopsis

The remote TencentOS Server 3 host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0251 advisory.

Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

CVE-2024-5688:
If a garbage collection was triggered at the right time, a use-after-free could have occurred during object transplant. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 127 and Firefox ESR < 115.12.

CVE-2024-5690:
By monitoring the time certain operations take, an attacker could have guessed which external protocol handlers were functional on a user's system. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 127 and Firefox ESR < 115.12.

CVE-2024-5691:
By tricking the browser with a X-Frame-Options header, a sandboxed iframe could have presented a button that, if clicked by a user, would bypass restrictions to open a new window. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 127 and Firefox ESR < 115.12.

CVE-2024-5693:
Offscreen Canvas did not properly track cross-origin tainting, which could be used to access image data from another site in violation of same-origin policy. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 127 and Firefox ESR < 115.12.

CVE-2024-5696:
By manipulating the text in an <input> tag, an attacker could have caused corrupt memory leading to a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 127 and Firefox ESR < 115.12.

CVE-2024-5700:
Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 126, Firefox ESR 115.11, and Thunderbird 115.11. 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 < 127 and Firefox ESR < 115.12.

CVE-2024-5702:
Memory corruption in the networking stack could have led to a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 125 and Firefox ESR < 115.12.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

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

Solution
