Description

This security bulletin contains information about 11 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1011)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation during WebAssembly code generation. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


2) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1013)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition when opening private browsing tabs. A remote attacker can force the browser to open private browsing tabs in normal browsing windows and gain access to sensitive information.


3) Improper certificate validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1014)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to improper certificate validation when adding certificates to a store. Firefox did not check certificate length, resulting only in trusted data being checked. A remote attacker can trick the victim into importing a malicious certificate into the certificate store and perform MitM attack.


4) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1016)

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.


5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1017)

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.


6) Insufficient UI Warning of Dangerous Operations (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1018)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to fullscreen notification is prematurely hidden when fullscreen is re-requested quickly by the user. A remote attacker can perform spoofing attack.


7) Insufficient UI Warning of Dangerous Operations (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1019)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the z-order of the browser windows could be manipulated to hide the fullscreen notification. A remote attacker can perform spoofing attack.

8) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1020)

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.


9) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1009)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when handling XSLT data. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website and execute arbitrary code on the system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.


10) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1010)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in Custom Highlight API. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website and execute arbitrary code on the system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.


11) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1012)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error during concurrent delazification. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website and execute arbitrary code on the system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
