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.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 60.8.0esr-1~deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your firefox-esr packages.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2019:14124-1 advisory.

  - A type confusion vulnerability can occur when manipulating JavaScript objects due to issues in Array.pop.
    This can allow for an exploitable crash. We are aware of targeted attacks in the wild abusing this flaw.
    This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 60.7.1, Firefox < 67.0.3, and Thunderbird < 60.7.2.
    (CVE-2019-11707)

  - Insufficient vetting of parameters passed with the Prompt:Open IPC message between child and parent     processes can result in the non-sandboxed parent process opening web content chosen by a compromised child     process. When combined with additional vulnerabilities this could result in executing arbitrary code on     the user's computer. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 60.7.2, Firefox < 67.0.4, and Thunderbird <     60.7.2. (CVE-2019-11708)

  - 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)

  - When importing a curve25519 private key in PKCS#8format with leading 0x00 bytes, it is possible to trigger     an out-of-bounds read in the Network Security Services (NSS) library. This could lead to information     disclosure. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox < 68, and Thunderbird < 60.8.
    (CVE-2019-11719)

  - Empty or malformed p256-ECDH public keys may trigger a segmentation fault due values being improperly     sanitized before being copied into memory and used. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox     < 68, and Thunderbird < 60.8. (CVE-2019-11729)

  - 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.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

A sandbox escape was discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to installing a malicious language pack, an attacker could exploit this to gain additional privileges. (CVE-2019-9811)

Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information, bypass same origin restrictions, conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks, spoof origin attributes, spoof the addressbar contents, bypass safebrowsing protections, or execute arbitrary code.
