CVE-ID: CVE-2020-12418
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition while processing individual parts of a URL object. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted web page, trick the victim into opening it, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.

CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-12420
CWE-ID:
CWE-416 - Use After Free
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when trying to connect to a STUN server. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted web page, trick the victim into visiting it, trigger a race condition that causes the use-after-free of a pointer and execute arbitrary code on the system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.

EUVDB-ID: #VU29457
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-12421
CWE-ID:
CWE-295 - Improper Certificate Validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disable installed Add-Ons.
The vulnerability exists due to Add-On updates do not respect the same certificate trust rules as software updates. When performing add-on updates, certificate chains terminating in non-built-in-roots were rejected (even if they were legitimately added by an administrator.) This could have caused add-ons to become out-of-date silently without notification to the user.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.
