[USN-6966-1] Firefox vulnerabilities


=========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6966-1
August 19, 2024

firefox vulnerabilities
=========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in Firefox.

Software Description:
- firefox: Mozilla Open Source web browser

Details:

Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were
tricked into opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could
potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive
information across domains, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-7518,
CVE-2024-7521, CVE-2024-7524, CVE-2024-7526, CVE-2024-7527, CVE-2024-7528,
CVE-2024-7529, CVE-2024-7530, CVE-2024-7531)

It was discovered that Firefox did not properly manage certain memory
operations when processing graphics shared memory. An attacker could
potentially exploit this issue to escape the sandbox. (CVE-2024-7519)

Nan Wang discovered that Firefox did not properly handle type check in
WebAssembly. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-7520)

Irvan Kurniawan discovered that Firefox did not properly check an attribute
value in the editor component, leading to an out-of-bounds read
vulnerability. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial
of service or expose sensitive information. (CVE-2024-7522)

Rob Wu discovered that Firefox did not properly check permissions when
creating a StreamFilter. An attacker could possibly use this issue to
modify response body of requests on any site using a web extension.
(CVE-2024-7525)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
firefox 129.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.20.04.1

After a standard system update you need to restart Firefox to make all the
necessary changes

CVE-2024-39292, CVE-2024-39471, CVE-2022-48674)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
linux-image-5.4.0-1135-azure 5.4.0-1135.142~18.04.1
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-azure 5.4.0.1135.142~18.04.1
Available with Ubuntu Pro

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.

ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have
been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and
reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed.
Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages
(e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual,
linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform
this as well.
