TencentOS Server 3: firefox (TSSA-2023:0188)

high Nessus Plugin ID 239158

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-2023:0188 advisory.

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

CVE-2022-46871:
An out of date library (libusrsctp) contained vulnerabilities that could potentially be exploited. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 108.

CVE-2022-46877:
By confusing the browser, the fullscreen notification could have been delayed or suppressed, resulting in potential user confusion or spoofing attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 108.

CVE-2023-23598:
Due to the Firefox GTK wrapper code's use of text/plain for drag data and GTK treating all text/plain MIMEs containing file URLs as being dragged a website could arbitrarily read a file via a call to <code>DataTransfer.setData</code>. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 109, Thunderbird < 102.7, and Firefox ESR < 102.7.

CVE-2023-23599:
When copying a network request from the developer tools panel as a curl command the output was not being properly sanitized and could allow arbitrary commands to be hidden within. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 109, Thunderbird < 102.7, and Firefox ESR < 102.7.

CVE-2023-23601:
Navigations were being allowed when dragging a URL from a cross-origin iframe into the same tab which could lead to website spoofing attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 109, Thunderbird < 102.7, and Firefox ESR < 102.7.

CVE-2023-23602:
A mishandled security check when creating a WebSocket in a WebWorker caused the Content Security Policy connect-src header to be ignored. This could lead to connections to restricted origins from inside WebWorkers. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 109, Thunderbird < 102.7, and Firefox ESR < 102.7.

CVE-2023-23603:
Regular expressions used to filter out forbidden properties and values from style directives in calls to <code>console.log</code> weren't accounting for external URLs. Data could then be potentially exfiltrated from the browser. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 109, Thunderbird < 102.7, and Firefox ESR < 102.7.

CVE-2023-23605:
Mozilla developers and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 108 and Firefox ESR 102.6. 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 < 109, Thunderbird < 102.7, and Firefox ESR < 102.7.

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

Update the affected packages.
