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

  - When following the value's prototype chain, it was     possible to retain a reference to a locale, delete it,     and subsequently reference it. This resulted in a use-     after-free and a potentially exploitable crash. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 70, Thunderbird < 68.2,     and Firefox ESR < 68.2. (CVE-2019-11757)

  - Mozilla community member Philipp reported a memory     safety bug present in Firefox 68 when 360 Total Security     was installed. This bug showed evidence of memory     corruption in the accessibility engine and we presume     that with enough effort that it could be exploited to     run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox <     69, Thunderbird < 68.2, and Firefox ESR < 68.2.
    (CVE-2019-11758)

  - If two same-origin documents set document.domain     differently to become cross-origin, it was possible for     them to call arbitrary DOM methods/getters/setters on     the now-cross-origin window. This vulnerability affects     Firefox < 70, Thunderbird < 68.2, and Firefox ESR <     68.2. (CVE-2019-11762)

  - Failure to correctly handle null bytes when processing     HTML entities resulted in Firefox incorrectly parsing     these entities. This could have led to HTML comment text     being treated as HTML which could have led to XSS in a     web application under certain conditions. It could have     also led to HTML entities being masked from filters -     enabling the use of entities to mask the actual     characters of interest from filters. This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 70, Thunderbird < 68.2, and Firefox     ESR < 68.2. (CVE-2019-11763)

  - Mozilla developers and community members reported memory     safety bugs present in Firefox 69 and Firefox ESR 68.1.
    Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption     and we presume that with enough effort some of these     could be exploited to run arbitrary code. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 70, Thunderbird < 68.2,     and Firefox ESR < 68.2. (CVE-2019-11764)

  - An attacker could have caused 4 bytes of HMAC output to     be written past the end of a buffer stored on the stack.
    This could be used by an attacker to execute arbitrary     code or more likely lead to a crash. This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 70, Thunderbird < 68.2, and Firefox     ESR < 68.2. (CVE-2019-11759)

  - A fixed-size stack buffer could overflow in nrappkit     when doing WebRTC signaling. This resulted in a     potentially exploitable crash in some instances. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 70, Thunderbird < 68.2,     and Firefox ESR < 68.2. (CVE-2019-11760)

  - By using a form with a data URI it was possible to gain     access to the privileged JSONView object that had been     cloned into content. Impact from exposing this object     appears to be minimal, however it was a bypass of     existing defense in depth mechanisms. This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 70, Thunderbird < 68.2, and Firefox     ESR < 68.2. (CVE-2019-11761)

  - Under certain conditions, when checking the Resist     Fingerprinting preference during device orientation     checks, a race condition could have caused a use-after-     free and a potentially exploitable crash. This     vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 68.3, Firefox ESR <     68.3, and Firefox < 71. (CVE-2019-17010)

  - Under certain conditions, when retrieving a document     from a DocShell in the antitracking code, a race     condition could cause a use-after-free condition and a     potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability     affects Thunderbird < 68.3, Firefox ESR < 68.3, and     Firefox < 71. (CVE-2019-17011)

  - Mozilla developers reported memory safety bugs present     in Firefox 70 and Firefox ESR 68.2. 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 Thunderbird < 68.3, Firefox ESR < 68.3, and     Firefox < 71. (CVE-2019-17012)

  - When using nested workers, a use-after-free could occur     during worker destruction. This resulted in a     potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability     affects Thunderbird < 68.3, Firefox ESR < 68.3, and     Firefox < 71. (CVE-2019-17008)

  - The plain text serializer used a fixed-size array for     the number of  elements it could process; however it     was possible to overflow the static-sized array leading     to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable     crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 68.3,     Firefox ESR < 68.3, and Firefox < 71. (CVE-2019-17005)
