Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 128 and Thunderbird 128

Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 127 and Thunderbird 127. 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 < 128 and Thunderbird < 128.

Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 128, Firefox ESR 115.13, Thunderbird 128, and Thunderbird 115.13

Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 127, Firefox ESR 115.12, and Thunderbird 115.12. 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 < 128, Firefox ESR < 115.13, Thunderbird < 115.13, and Thunderbird < 128.

Incorrect listing of stack frames

The frame iterator could get stuck in a loop when encountering certain wasm frames leading to incorrect stack traces. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 128 and Thunderbird < 128.

Incorrect listing of stack frames

The frame iterator could get stuck in a loop when encountering certain wasm frames leading to incorrect stack traces. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 128 and Thunderbird < 128.

CSP violation leakage when using devtools

CSP violations generated links in the console tab of the developer tools, pointing to the violating resource. This caused a DNS prefetch which leaked that a CSP violation happened. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 128 and Thunderbird < 128.

Incorrect handling of SameSite cookies

A nested iframe, triggering a cross-site navigation, could send SameSite=Strict or Lax cookies. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 128 and Thunderbird < 128.

Memory corruption in thread creation

In an out-of-memory scenario an allocation could fail but free would have been called on the pointer afterwards leading to memory corruption. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 128, Firefox ESR < 115.13, Thunderbird < 115.13, and Thunderbird < 128.

Race condition in permission assignment

A race condition could lead to a cross-origin container obtaining permissions of the top-level origin. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 128, Firefox ESR < 115.13, Thunderbird < 115.13, and Thunderbird < 128.

Memory corruption in WebGL API

Due to large allocation checks in Angle for GLSL shaders being too lenient an out-of-bounds access could occur when allocating more than 8192 ints in private shader memory on macOS. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 128, Firefox ESR < 115.13, Thunderbird < 115.13, and Thunderbird < 128.

Form validation popups could block exiting full-screen mode

Form validation popups could capture escape key presses. Therefore, spamming form validation messages could be used to prevent users from exiting full-screen mode. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 128 and Thunderbird < 128.

Cursor could be moved out of the viewport using pointerlock.

It was possible to move the cursor using pointerlock from an iframe. This allowed moving the cursor outside of the viewport and the Firefox window. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 128 and Thunderbird < 128.

Leaving pointerlock by pressing the escape key could be prevented

It was possible to prevent a user from exiting pointerlock when pressing escape and to overlay customValidity notifications from a `&lt;select&gt;` element over certain permission prompts. This could be used to confuse a user into giving a site unintended permissions. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 128 and Thunderbird < 128.

Type Confusion in Async Generators in Javascript Engine

An error in the ECMA-262 specification relating to Async Generators could have resulted in a type confusion, potentially leading to memory corruption and an exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 128, Firefox ESR < 115.13, Thunderbird < 115.13, and Thunderbird < 128.

Accessing a non-secure HTTP site that uses a non-existent port may cause the SSL padlock icon in the location URL bar to, misleadingly, appear secure. This vulnerability affects Firefox for iOS < 133.

Mozilla: Type confusion in Array.pop

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.

Mozilla: Sandbox escape using Prompt:Open

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.

libwebp: Heap buffer overflow in WebP Codec

Heap buffer overflow in libwebp in Google Chrome prior to 116.0.5845.187 and libwebp 1.3.2 allowed a remote attacker to perform an out of bounds memory write via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Critical)

libvpx: Heap buffer overflow in vp8 encoding in libvpx

Heap buffer overflow in vp8 encoding in libvpx in Google Chrome prior to 117.0.5938.132 and libvpx 1.13.1 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

Prototype Pollution in convict

Improperly Controlled Modification of Object Prototype Attributes ('Prototype Pollution') vulnerability in Mozilla Convict. This allows an attacker to inject attributes that are used in other components, or to override existing attributes with ones that have incompatible type, which may lead to a crash. The main use case of Convict is for handling server-side configurations written by the admins owning the servers, and not random users. So it's unlikely that an admin would deliberately sabotage their own server. Still, a situation can happen where an admin not knowledgeable about JavaScript could be tricked by an attacker into writing the malicious JavaScript code into some config files. This issue affects Convict: before 6.2.4.

Local Privilege Escalation in sccache

On Linux the sccache client can execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a local sccache server, by preloading the code in a shared library passed to LD_PRELOAD. If the server is run as root (which is the default when installing the snap package https://snapcraft.io/sccache ), this means a user running the sccache client can get root privileges.
