Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Firefox before 49.0, Firefox ESR 45.x before 45.4, and Thunderbird < 45.4 rely on unintended expiration dates for Preloaded Public Key Pinning, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof add-on updates by leveraging possession of an X.509 server certificate for addons.mozilla.org signed by an arbitrary built-in Certification Authority.

Mozilla Firefox before 44.0 allows user-assisted remote attackers to spoof a trailing substring in the address bar by leveraging a user's paste of a (1) wyciwyg: URI or (2) resource: URI.

Further techniques that built on the slipstream research combined with a malicious webpage could have exposed both an internal network's hosts as well as services running on the user's local machine. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 85.

A Content Provider in Firefox for Android allowed local files accessible by the browser to be read by a remote webpage, leading to sensitive data disclosure, including cookies for other origins. This vulnerability affects Firefox for < Android.

If an image had not loaded correctly (such as when it is not actually an image), it could be dragged and dropped cross-domain, resulting in a cross-origin information leak. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 71.

On Android systems, Firefox can load a library from APITRACE_LIB, which is writable by all users and applications. This could allow malicious third party applications to execute a man-in-the-middle attack if a malicious code was written to that location and loaded. *Note: This issue only affects Android. Other operating systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 66.

Navigations through the Android-specific `intent` URL scheme could have been misused to escape iframe sandbox. Note: This issue only affected Firefox for Android. Other operating systems are unaffected. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 85.

In canvas rendering, a compromised content process could have caused a surface to change unexpectedly, leading to a memory leak of a privileged process. This memory leak could be used to effect a sandbox escape if the correct data was leaked. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 118.

The Upgrade-Insecure-Requests (UIR) specification states that if UIR is enabled through Content Security Policy (CSP), navigation to a same-origin URL must be upgraded to HTTPS. Firefox will incorrectly navigate to an HTTP URL rather than perform the security upgrade requested by the CSP in some circumstances, allowing for potential man-in-the-middle attacks on the linked resources. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 66.

Memory corruption in thread creation

Leaking file descriptors from the fork server

The FileReader class in Mozilla Firefox before 45.0 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) by changing a file during a FileReader API read operation.

Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 130. 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. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 131 and Thunderbird < 131.

Adding %00 and a fake extension to a jar: URL changed the interpretation of the contents

Fullscreen notification is not displayed when fullscreen is re-requested

Sandbox escape due to undefined behavior, invalid pointer in the Graphics: Canvas2D component

URL Bar Spoofing via non-BMP Unicode characters

Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 139 and Thunderbird 139

Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 146 and Thunderbird 146

Incorrect boundary conditions in the Libraries component in NSS

Incorrect boundary conditions in the Graphics: CanvasWebGL component

Mozilla Firefox before 1.0 is installed with world-writable permissions on Mac OS X, which allows local users to gain privileges.

Buffer overflow in the Mozilla Maintenance Service in Mozilla Firefox before 20.0, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.5, Thunderbird before 17.0.5, and Thunderbird ESR 17.x before 17.0.5 on Windows allows local users to gain privileges via crafted arguments.

The Mozilla Maintenance Service in Mozilla Firefox before 22.0 on Windows does not properly handle inability to launch the Mozilla Updater executable file, which allows local users to gain privileges via vectors involving placement of a Trojan horse executable file at an arbitrary location.

Stack-based buffer overflow in maintenanceservice.exe in the Mozilla Maintenance Service in Mozilla Firefox before 23.0, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.8, Thunderbird before 17.0.8, and Thunderbird ESR 17.x before 17.0.8 allows local users to gain privileges via a long pathname on the command line.

Stack-based buffer overflow in Mozilla Updater in Mozilla Firefox before 23.0, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.8, Thunderbird before 17.0.8, and Thunderbird ESR 17.x before 17.0.8 allows local users to gain privileges via a long pathname on the command line to the Mozilla Maintenance Service.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in the ThinkPadSensor::Startup function in Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.20, Thunderbird 3.x before 3.1.12, allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging write access in an unspecified directory to place a Trojan horse DLL that is loaded into the running Firefox process.

The Mozilla Updater and Windows Updater Service in Mozilla Firefox 12.0, Thunderbird 12.0, and SeaMonkey 2.9 on Windows allow local users to gain privileges by loading a DLL file in a privileged context.

Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a long hostname in an HREF attribute in an A element, which triggers an out-of-bounds memory access.

Mozilla Firefox before 45.0 on Linux, when an Intel video driver is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or stack memory corruption) by triggering use of a WebGL shader.

Use-after-free vulnerability in the LiveConnect bridge code for Mozilla Firefox 2.x before 2.0.0.1, 1.5.x before 1.5.0.9, Thunderbird before 1.5.0.9, and SeaMonkey before 1.0.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via unknown vectors.

nsIRDFService in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.7, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.21, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.15 allows remote attackers to bypass the same-origin policy and read XML data from another domain via a cross-domain redirect.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.4 on Windows allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via ..%5C (dot dot encoded backslash) sequences in a resource:// URI.

Mozilla Firefox before 35.0 on Windows allows remote attackers to bypass the Gecko Media Plugin (GMP) sandbox protection mechanism by leveraging access to the GMP process, as demonstrated by the OpenH264 plugin's process.

Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and crash) via an iframe with Javascript that sets the document.location to contain a leading NULL byte (\x00) and a (1) res://, (2) about:config, or (3) file:/// URI.

A locally-installed hostile program could send `WM_COPYDATA` messages that Firefox would process incorrectly, leading to an out-of-bounds read. *This bug only affects Firefox on Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 78.11, Firefox < 89, and Firefox ESR < 78.11.

A Time-of-Check Time-of-Use bug existed in the Maintenance (Updater) Service that could be abused to grant Users write access to an arbitrary directory. This could have been used to escalate to SYSTEM access.<br>*This bug only affects Firefox on Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 97, Thunderbird < 91.6, and Firefox ESR < 91.6.

If two Workers were simultaneously initializing their CacheStorage, a data race could have occurred in the `ThirdPartyUtil` component. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 106.

A WebExtension can request access to local files without the warning prompt stating that the extension will "Access your data for all websites" being displayed to the user. This allows extensions to run content scripts in local pages without permission warnings when a local file is opened. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 60.3 and Firefox < 63.
