Overview
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla products which could
allow a remote attacker to access sensitive information, cause memory leak,
perform spoofing attack and execute arbitrary code on a targeted system.
Description
These vulnerabilities exist in Mozilla products due to a flaw related to
timing differences in Mozilla NSS library, use-after-free error in
SharedWorkerService, JavaScript type confusion error, memory leak in
WebRender, incorrect processing of certain blank characters and Unicode
characters in URL, error while receiving a PREAUTH response in STARTTLS
implementation for IMAP and multiple memory safety bugs.
A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by hosting a
specially crafted webpage and then convince the user to visit the webpage
using the affected product.
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow the attacker
to access sensitive information, cause memory leak, perform spoofing attack
and execute arbitrary code on the targeted system.
Solution
Update to Mozilla Firefox version 77.0, Mozilla Firefox ESR version 68.9
and Mozilla Thunderbird version 68.9.0 from the websites www.mozilla.org
and www.thunderbird.net .
