Description

[email protected] reports: CVE-2024-11692: An attacker could cause a select dropdown to be shown over another tab; this could have led to user confusion and possible spoofing attacks. CVE-2024-11696: The application failed to account for exceptions thrown by the `loadManifestFromFile` method during add-on signature verification. This flaw, triggered by an invalid or unsupported extension manifest, could have caused runtime errors that disrupted the signature validation process. As a result, the enforcement of signature validation for unrelated add-ons may have been bypassed. Signature validation in this context is used to ensure that third-party applications on the user's computer have not tampered with the user's extensions, limiting the impact of this issue. CVE-2024-11697: When handling keypress events, an attacker may have been able to trick a user into bypassing the " Open Executable File?" confirmation dialog. This could have led to malicious code execution. CVE-2024-11699: Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 132, Firefox ESR 128.4, and Thunderbird 128.4. 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.
