    Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked into opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain     sensitive information, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-23981, CVE-2021-23982, CVE-2021-23983,     CVE-2021-23987, CVE-2021-23988)

    It was discovered that extensions could open popup windows with control of the window title in some     circumstances. If a user were tricked into installing a specially crafted extension, an attacker could     potentially exploit this to spook a website and trick the user into providing credentials.
    (CVE-2021-23984)

    It was discovered that the DevTools remote debugging feature could be enabled without an indication to the     user. If a local attacker could modify the browser configuration, a remote attacker could potentially     exploit this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2021-23985)

The remote CentOS Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2021:0992 advisory.

  - A texture upload of a Pixel Buffer Object could have confused the WebGL code to skip binding the buffer     used to unpack it, resulting in memory corruption and a potentially exploitable information leak or crash.
    This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 78.9, Firefox < 87, and Thunderbird < 78.9. (CVE-2021-23981)

  - Using techniques that built on the slipstream research, a malicious webpage could have scanned both an     internal network's hosts as well as services running on the user's local machine utilizing WebRTC     connections. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 78.9, Firefox < 87, and Thunderbird < 78.9.
    (CVE-2021-23982)

  - A malicious extension could have opened a popup window lacking an address bar. The title of the popup     lacking an address bar should not be fully controllable, but in this situation was. This could have been     used to spoof a website and attempt to trick the user into providing credentials. This vulnerability     affects Firefox ESR < 78.9, Firefox < 87, and Thunderbird < 78.9. (CVE-2021-23984)

  - Mozilla developers and community members reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 86 and Firefox ESR     78.8. 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 ESR < 78.9,     Firefox < 87, and Thunderbird < 78.9. (CVE-2021-23987)

  - An out of date graphics library (Angle) likely contained vulnerabilities that could potentially be     exploited. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 78.9 and Firefox ESR < 78.9. (CVE-2021-4127)
