Mozilla Firefox ESR < 115.33

high Nessus Plugin ID 299868

Synopsis

A web browser installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Firefox ESR installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 115.33. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2026-14 advisory.

 - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox ESR 115.32, Firefox ESR 140.7, Thunderbird ESR 140.7, Firefox 147 and Thunderbird 147. 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. (CVE-2026-2793)

 - Incorrect boundary conditions in the WebRTC: Audio/Video component. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 148, Firefox ESR < 115.33, and Firefox ESR < 140.8. (CVE-2026-2757)

 - Use-after-free in the JavaScript: GC component. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 148, Firefox ESR < 115.33, and Firefox ESR < 140.8. (CVE-2026-2758)

 - Incorrect boundary conditions in the Graphics: ImageLib component. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 148, Firefox ESR < 115.33, and Firefox ESR < 140.8. (CVE-2026-2759)

 - Sandbox escape due to incorrect boundary conditions in the Graphics: WebRender component. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 148, Firefox ESR < 115.33, and Firefox ESR < 140.8. (CVE-2026-2760)

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 115.33 or later.
