Mozilla: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 80 and Firefox ESR 78.2

Mozilla developers reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox for Android 79. 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 < 80, Firefox ESR < 78.2, Thunderbird < 78.2, and Firefox for Android < 80.

When a malicious application installed on the user's device broadcast an Intent to Firefox for Android, arbitrary headers could have been specified, leading to attacks such as abusing ambient authority or session fixation. This was resolved by only allowing certain safe-listed headers. *Note: This issue only affected Firefox for Android. Other operating systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 84.

When typing in a password under certain conditions, a race may have occured where the InputContext was not being correctly set for the input field, resulting in the typed password being saved to the keyboard dictionary. This vulnerability affects Firefox for Android < 80.

When trying to load a non-video in an audio/video context the exact status code (200, 302, 404, 500, 412, 403, etc.) was disclosed via the MediaError Message. This level of information leakage is inconsistent with the standardized onerror/onsuccess disclosure and can lead to inferring login status to services or device discovery on a local network among other attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 80 and Firefox for Android < 80.

By attempting to connect a website using an unresponsive port, an attacker could have controlled the content of a tab while the URL bar displayed the original domain. *Note: This issue only affects Firefox for Android. Other operating systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 84.

Mozilla: Potential Memory Corruption following Garbage Collector compaction

Following a Garbage Collector compaction, weak maps may have been accessed before they were correctly traced. This resulted in memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 112, Focus for Android < 112, Firefox ESR < 102.10, Firefox for Android < 112, and Thunderbird < 102.10.

A lock was missing when accessing a data structure and importing certificate information into the trust database. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 80 and Firefox for Android < 80.

mozilla: From NVD collector

A select option could partially obscure security prompts. This could be used by a malicious site to trick a user into granting permissions. *This issue only affects Android versions of Firefox.* This vulnerability affects Firefox < 129.

nss: P-384 and P-521 implementation uses a side-channel vulnerable modular inversion function

When converting coordinates from projective to affine, the modular inversion was not performed in constant time, resulting in a possible timing-based side channel attack. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 80 and Firefox for Android < 80.

nss: ECDSA timing attack mitigation bypass

During ECDSA signature generation, padding applied in the nonce designed to ensure constant-time scalar multiplication was removed, resulting in variable-time execution dependent on secret data. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 80 and Firefox for Android < 80.

nss: Side channel attack on ECDSA signature generation

When performing EC scalar point multiplication, the wNAF point multiplication algorithm was used; which leaked partial information about the nonce used during signature generation. Given an electro-magnetic trace of a few signature generations, the private key could have been computed. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 80 and Firefox for Android < 80.
