Amazon Linux 2 : firefox (ALASFIREFOX-2025-041)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 243434

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of firefox installed on the remote host is prior to 128.13.0-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2FIREFOX-2025-041 advisory.

On 64-bit platforms IonMonkey-JIT only wrote 32 bits of the 64-bit return value space on the stack.
Baseline-JIT, however, read the entire 64 bits. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 141, Firefox ESR < 115.26, Firefox ESR < 128.13, Firefox ESR < 140.1, Thunderbird < 141, Thunderbird < 128.13, and Thunderbird < 140.1. (CVE-2025-8027)

On arm64, a WASM `br_table` instruction with a lot of entries could lead to the label being too far from the instruction causing truncation and incorrect computation of the branch address. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 141, Firefox ESR < 115.26, Firefox ESR < 128.13, Firefox ESR < 140.1, Thunderbird < 141, Thunderbird < 128.13, and Thunderbird < 140.1. (CVE-2025-8028)

Thunderbird executed `javascript:` URLs when used in `object` and `embed` tags. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 141, Firefox ESR < 128.13, Firefox ESR < 140.1, Thunderbird < 141, Thunderbird < 128.13, and Thunderbird < 140.1. (CVE-2025-8029)

Insufficient escaping in the Copy as cURL feature could potentially be used to trick a user into executing unexpected code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 141, Firefox ESR < 128.13, Firefox ESR < 140.1, Thunderbird < 141, Thunderbird < 128.13, and Thunderbird < 140.1. (CVE-2025-8030)

The `username:password` part was not correctly stripped from URLs in CSP reports potentially leaking HTTP Basic Authentication credentials. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 141, Firefox ESR < 128.13, Firefox ESR < 140.1, Thunderbird < 141, Thunderbird < 128.13, and Thunderbird < 140.1. (CVE-2025-8031)

XSLT document loading did not correctly propagate the source document which bypassed its CSP. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 141, Firefox ESR < 128.13, Firefox ESR < 140.1, Thunderbird < 141, Thunderbird < 128.13, and Thunderbird < 140.1. (CVE-2025-8032)

The JavaScript engine did not handle closed generators correctly and it was possible to resume them leading to a nullptr deref. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 141, Firefox ESR < 115.26, Firefox ESR < 128.13, Firefox ESR < 140.1, Thunderbird < 141, Thunderbird < 128.13, and Thunderbird < 140.1.
(CVE-2025-8033)

Memory safety bugs present in Firefox ESR 115.25, Firefox ESR 128.12, Thunderbird ESR 128.12, Firefox ESR 140.0, Thunderbird ESR 140.0, Firefox 140 and Thunderbird 140. 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 < 141, Firefox ESR < 115.26, Firefox ESR < 128.13, Firefox ESR < 140.1, Thunderbird < 141, Thunderbird < 128.13, and Thunderbird < 140.1. (CVE-2025-8034)

Memory safety bugs present in Firefox ESR 128.12, Thunderbird ESR 128.12, Firefox ESR 140.0, Thunderbird ESR 140.0, Firefox 140 and Thunderbird 140. 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 < 141, Firefox ESR < 128.13, Firefox ESR < 140.1, Thunderbird < 141, Thunderbird < 128.13, and Thunderbird < 140.1. (CVE-2025-8035)
