firefox128: update to 128.5.0
Security Vulnerabilities fixed in Firefox ESR 128.5
#CVE-2024-11691: Memory corruption in Apple GPU drivers
Impact: high
An attacker could have caused memory corruption due to a flaw in Apple's GPU
driver; this can be avoided by working around the flaw.
Note: This issue only affected macOS operating systems. Other operating systems
are unaffected.
#CVE-2024-11692: Select list elements could be shown over another site
Impact: moderate
An attacker could cause a select dropdown to be shown over another tab; this
could have led to user confusion and possible spoofing attacks.
#CVE-2024-11693: Download Protections were bypassed by .library-ms files on
Windows
Impact: moderate
The executable file warning was not presented when downloading .library-ms
files.
Note: This issue only affected Windows operating systems. Other operating
systems are unaffected.
#CVE-2024-11694: CSP Bypass and XSS Exposure via Web Compatibility Shims
Impact: moderate
Enhanced Tracking Protection's Strict mode may have inadvertently allowed a CSP
frame-src bypass and DOM-based XSS through the Google SafeFrame shim in the Web
Compatibility extension. This issue could have exposed users to malicious
frames masquerading as legitimate content.
#CVE-2024-11695: URL Bar Spoofing via Manipulated Punycode and Whitespace
Characters
Impact: moderate
A crafted URL containing Arabic script and whitespace characters could have
hidden the true origin of the page, resulting in a potential spoofing attack.
#CVE-2024-11696: Unhandled Exception in Add-on Signature Verification
Impact: moderate
The application failed to account for exceptions thrown by the
loadManifestFromFile method during add-on signature verification. This flaw,
triggered by an invalid or unsupported extension manifest, could have caused
runtime errors that disrupted the signature validation process. As a result,
the enforcement of signature validation for unrelated add-ons may have been
bypassed. Signature validation in this context is used to ensure that
third-party applications on the user's computer have not tampered with the
user's extensions, limiting the impact of this issue.
#CVE-2024-11697: Improper Keypress Handling in Executable File Confirmation
Dialog
Impact: low
When handling keypress events, an attacker may have been able to trick a user
into bypassing the "Open Executable File?" confirmation dialog. This \
could have
led to malicious code execution.
#CVE-2024-11698: Fullscreen Lock-Up When Modal Dialog Interrupts Transition on
macOS
Impact: low
A flaw in handling fullscreen transitions may have inadvertently caused the
application to become stuck in fullscreen mode when a modal dialog was opened
during the transition. This issue left users unable to exit fullscreen mode
using standard actions like pressing "Esc" or accessing right-click menus,
resulting in a disrupted browsing experience until the browser is restarted.
This bug only affects the application when running on macOS. Other operating
systems are unaffected.
#CVE-2024-11699: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 133, Firefox ESR 128.5,
and Thunderbird 128.5
Impact: high
Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 132, Firefox ESR 128.4, and Thunderbird
128.4. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume
that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run
arbitrary code.
