Summary

Mozilla Firefox und Thunderbird: Mehrere Schwachstellen ermöglichen Codeausführung

Severity

Hoch

Scope

14 vulnerabilities in this advisory, including CVE-2022-31739.

CVE-2022-31739

Es existieren mehrere Schwachstellen in Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Firefox ESR und Thunderbird. Die Fehler bestehen unter anderem aufgrund von Use-after-free-Fehlern, Out-of-bounds-Read und Out-of-bounds-Write Fehlern, fehlenden Sicherheitsüberprüfungen, Spoofing-Angriffen, einem Fehler in der Ressourcenverwaltung, Pufferüberläufen und Path Traversals. Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann diese Schwachstellen ausnutzen, um beliebigen Code auszuführen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen, falsche Informationen darzustellen und einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand zu verursachen. Die erfolgreiche Ausnutzung einiger dieser Schwachstellen erfordert eine Benutzerinteraktion.
