SB2024110173 - openEuler 20.03 LTS SP4 update for firefox

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Spoofing attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-26979)

CWE-ID: CWE-451 - User Interface (UI) Misrepresentation of Critical Information (Clickjacking, spoofing)

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the way Firefox processes events, related to URL processing in the address bar. When a user typed a URL in the address bar or the search bar and quickly hit the enter key, a website could sometimes capture that event and then redirect the user before navigation occurred to the desired, entered address. To construct a convincing spoof the attacker would have had to guess what the user was typing, perhaps by suggesting it.

2) Spoofing attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23972)

CWE-ID: CWE-451 - User Interface (UI) Misrepresentation of Critical Information (Clickjacking, spoofing)

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of cached redirects with HTTP authentication. A remote attacker can force the browser not to display a phishing warning dialog, if the malicious website was previously cached by the browser.

Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
