Description
This security bulletin contains information about 19 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Improper Restriction of Rendered UI Layers or Frames (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34479)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of resizing event for a popup window. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted website that can create a resized popup to overlay the address bar with its own content and perform spoofing attack.
Note, the vulnerability affects Linux installations only.
2) Insufficient UI Warning of Dangerous Operations (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34483)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient UI warning when performing drag and drop operations. A remote attacker can trick the victim to drag and drop an image to a filesystem, manipulate the resulting filename to contain executable extension and execute arbitrary application on the system.
3) Insufficient UI Warning of Dangerous Operations (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34482)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient UI warning when performing drag and drop operations. A remote attacker can trick the victim to drag and drop an image to a filesystem, manipulate the resulting filename to contain executable extension and execute arbitrary application on the system.
4) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34468)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of the CSP sandbox header without "allow-scripts" option. A remote attacker use an iframe to bypass implemented CSP restriction and execute scripts if the user clicks on a javascript: link.
5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34470)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in nsSHistory when handling XML documents. A remote attacker can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34476)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of an indefinite SEQUENCE inside an indefinite GROUP when parsing ASN.1. A remote attacker can trick the browser into accessing a malformed ASN.1 and perform spoofing attack.
7) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34481)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in the nsTArray_Impl::ReplaceElementsAt() function. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted website, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
8) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34474)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when handling sandboxed iframes with allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation. A remote attacker can pass a redirect header to an external protocol to the browser and force the browser to process the redirect. The browser however will prompt the user as appropriate.
9) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34469)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when handling TLC certificate errors on a domain protected by the HSTS header. A remote attacker can trick the victim into bypassing the error using the presented browser option.
10) Reliance on Untrusted Inputs in a Security Decision (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34471)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to force downgrade existing browser addons.
The vulnerability exists due to missing verification of the advertised version when installing addon updates. When downloading an update for an addon, the downloaded addon update's version is not verified to match the version selected from the manifest. If the manifest had been tampered with on the server, an attacker could trick the browser into downgrading the addon to a prior version.
11) Error Handling (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34472)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to influence browser behavior.
The vulnerability exists due to improper error handling when processing unavailable PAC file. If a PAC URL is set and the server that hosts the PAC is unreachable, OCSP requests are blocked, resulting in incorrect error pages being shown.
12) Improper Authorization in Handler for Custom URL Scheme (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34478)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure usage of URI handlers that allow usage of ms-msdt, search, and search-ms protocols. A remote attacker can trick the victim to click on a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary code on the system, if the victim accepts the browser prompt.
The vulnerability affects Firefox on Windows.
13) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2200)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when handling JavaScript attributes. A remote attacker can pass undesired attributes to JavaScript object and perform prototype pollution and execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the browser.
14) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34484)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing HTML content. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted website, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
15) Access of Uninitialized Pointer (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34480)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to crash the browser.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the lg_init() function when handling several allocations. A remote attacker can cause browser crash.
16) Origin validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34477)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to origin validation error. The MediaError message property should be consistent to avoid leaking information about cross-origin resources, however for a same-site cross-origin resource, the message could have leaked information enabling XS-Leaks attacks.
17) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34475)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of SVG <use> tags that referenced a same-origin document. A remote attacker can bypass the HTML Sanitizer API by referencing a same-origin JavaScript file containing the script to be executed.
18) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34473)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of thexlink:hrefattribute of SVG <use> tags. A remote attacker can bypass the HTML Sanitizerand perform XSS attacks.19) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34485)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing HTML content. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted web page, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
