EUVDB-ID: #VU47741
Risk: Critical
CVSSv3.1: 8.4 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:H/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-15999
CWE-ID:
CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in freetype library when processing TTF files. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted TTF file with PNG sbit glyphs to the application, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
Note, this vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.
Update the affected package firefox to version 83.0-1.

EUVDB-ID: #VU48460
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 4.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-16012
CWE-ID:
CWE-346 - Origin Validation Error
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to the way browser handles requests to cross-origin images. When drawing a transparent image on top of an unknown cross-origin image, the Skia library drawImage
function takes a variable amount of time depending on the content of the
underlying image. This results in cross-origin information
exposure of image content through timing side-channel attacks.
Update the affected package firefox to version 83.0-1.

EUVDB-ID: #VU48458
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-26951
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A parsing and event loading mismatch in Firefox's SVG code could have allowed load events to fire, even after sanitization. An attacker already capable of exploiting an XSS vulnerability in privileged internal pages could have used this attack to bypass the built-in sanitizer.

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-2020-26952
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-26956
CWE-ID:
CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. In some cases, removing HTML elements during sanitization would keep existing SVG event handlers and therefore lead to XSS.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.

CWE-ID:
CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges on the system.

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-26959
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 within the WebRequestService component during browser shutdown.

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-26960
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 within nsTArray implementation. If the Compact()
method was called on an nsTArray, the array could have been reallocated without updating other pointers. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted web page, trick the victim into visiting it, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-26961
CWE-ID:
CWE-358 - Improperly Implemented Security Check for Standard
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a DNS rebinding attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the way Firefox filters IPv4 mapped IP addresses. When DNS over HTTPS is in use, it intentionally filters RFC1918 and related IP ranges from the responses as these do not make sense coming from a DoH resolver. However when an IPv4 address was mapped through IPv6, these addresses were erroneously let through, leading to a potential DNS Rebinding attack.

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-26962
CWE-ID:
CWE-435 - Improper Interaction Between Multiple Correctly-Behaving Entities
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists in the way cross-origin iframes supported login autofill is being performed. Cross-origin iframes that contained a login form could have been recognized by the login autofill service and populated. This could have been used in clickjacking attacks, as well as be read across partitions in dynamic first party isolation.

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-26965
CWE-ID:
CWE-200 - Information exposure
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to the way software keyboards are handled by the Firefox. Some websites have a feature "Show Password" where clicking a button will change a password field into a textbook field, revealing the typed password. If, when using a software keyboard that remembers user input, a user typed their password and used that feature, the type of the password field was changed, resulting in a keyboard layout change and the possibility for the software keyboard to remember the typed password.
A local user leverage this behavior to gain access to passwords, stored by software keyboards.

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-26967
CWE-ID:
CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to introduce an unexpected behavior.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within Mutation Observers. When listening for page changes with a Mutation Observer, a malicious web page could confuse Firefox Screenshots into interacting with elements other than those that it injected into the page. This would lead to internal errors and unexpected behavior in the Screenshots code.
