Multiple security issues have been found in the Mozilla Firefox web browser, which could potentially result in the execution of arbitrary code, cross-site scripting, spoofing, information disclosure, denial of service or cross-site request forgery.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has firefox packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Mozilla developers and community members reported memory     safety bugs present in Firefox 67 and Firefox ESR 60.7.
    Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption     and we presume that with enough effort that some of     these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. This     vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox < 68,     and Thunderbird < 60.8. (CVE-2019-11709)

  - When an inner window is reused, it does not consider the     use of document.domain for cross-origin protections. If     pages on different subdomains ever cooperatively use     document.domain, then either page can abuse this to     inject script into arbitrary pages on the other     subdomain, even those that did not use document.domain     to relax their origin security. This vulnerability     affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox < 68, and     Thunderbird < 60.8. (CVE-2019-11711)

  - POST requests made by NPAPI plugins, such as Flash, that     receive a status 308 redirect response can bypass CORS     requirements. This can allow an attacker to perform     Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks. This     vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox < 68,     and Thunderbird < 60.8. (CVE-2019-11712)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability can occur in HTTP/2 when     a cached HTTP/2 stream is closed while still in use,     resulting in a potentially exploitable crash. This     vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox < 68,     and Thunderbird < 60.8. (CVE-2019-11713)

  - Due to an error while parsing page content, it is     possible for properly sanitized user input to be     misinterpreted and lead to XSS hazards on web sites in     certain circumstances. This vulnerability affects     Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox < 68, and Thunderbird <     60.8. (CVE-2019-11715)

  - A vulnerability exists where the caret (^) character     is improperly escaped constructing some URIs due to it     being used as a separator, allowing for possible     spoofing of origin attributes. This vulnerability     affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox < 68, and     Thunderbird < 60.8. (CVE-2019-11717)

  - A vulnerability exists where if a user opens a locally     saved HTML file, this file can use file: URIs to access     other files in the same directory or sub-directories if     the names are known or guessed. The Fetch API can then     be used to read the contents of any files stored in     these directories and they may uploaded to a server. It     was demonstrated that in combination with a popular     Android messaging app, if a malicious HTML attachment is     sent to a user and they opened that attachment in     Firefox, due to that app's predictable pattern for     locally-saved file names, it is possible to read     attachments the victim received from other     correspondents. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR <     60.8, Firefox < 68, and Thunderbird < 60.8.
    (CVE-2019-11730)

  - As part of a winning Pwn2Own entry, a researcher     demonstrated a sandbox escape by installing a malicious     language pack and then opening a browser feature that     used the compromised translation. This vulnerability     affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox < 68, and     Thunderbird < 60.8. (CVE-2019-9811)

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

The version of Firefox installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 68.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2019-21 advisory.

  - Until explicitly accessed by script, <code>window.globalThis</code> is not enumerable and, as a result, is     not visible to code such as <code>Object.getOwnPropertyNames(window)</code>. Sites that deploy a     sandboxing that depends on enumerating and freezing access to the window object may miss this, allowing     their sandboxes to be bypassed. (CVE-2019-11716)

  - Necko can access a child on the wrong thread during UDP connections, resulting in a potentially     exploitable crash in some instances. (CVE-2019-11714)

  - As part of his winning Pwn2Own entry, Niklas Baumstark demonstrated a sandbox escape by installing a     malicious language pack and then opening a browser feature that used the compromised translation.
    (CVE-2019-9811)

  - When an inner window is reused, it does not consider the use of <code>document.domain</code> for cross-     origin protections. If pages on different subdomains ever cooperatively use <code>document.domain</code>,     then either page can abuse this to inject script into arbitrary pages on the other subdomain, even those     that did not use <code>document.domain</code> to relax their origin security. (CVE-2019-11711)

  - POST requests made by NPAPI plugins, such as Flash, that receive a status 308 redirect response can bypass     CORS requirements. This can allow an attacker to perform Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks.
    (CVE-2019-11712)
