firefox vulnerabilities
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-2023-6865, CVE-2023-6857, CVE-2023-6858, CVE-2023-6859, CVE-2023-6866, CVE-2023-6867, CVE-2023-6861, CVE-2023-6869, CVE-2023-6871, CVE-2023-6872, CVE-2023-6863, CVE-2023-6864, CVE-2023-6873)

DoHyun Lee discovered that Firefox did not properly manage memory when used on systems with the Mesa VM driver. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-6856)

George Pantela and Hubert Kario discovered that Firefox using multiple NSS NIST curves which were susceptible to a side-channel attack known as "Minerva". An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2023-6135)
