USN-6779-2: Firefox regressions

Read Time:1 Minute, 0 Second

USN-6779-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. The update introduced
several minor regressions. This update fixes the problem.

Original advisory details:

Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were
tricked into opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could
potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive
information across domains, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-4767,
CVE-2024-4768, CVE-2024-4769, CVE-2024-4771, CVE-2024-4772, CVE-2024-4773,
CVE-2024-4774, CVE-2024-4775, CVE-2024-4776, CVE-2024-4777, CVE-2024-4778)

Jan-Ivar Bruaroey discovered that Firefox did not properly manage memory
when audio input connected with multiple consumers. An attacker could
potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service, or execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-4764)

Thomas Rinsma discovered that Firefox did not properly handle type check
when handling fonts in PDF.js. An attacker could potentially exploit this
issue to execute arbitrary javascript code in PDF.js. (CVE-2024-4367)

Irvan Kurniawan discovered that Firefox did not properly handle certain
font styles when saving a page to PDF. An attacker could potentially
exploit this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-4770)

USN-6795-1: Linux kernel (Intel IoTG) vulnerabilities

Read Time:3 Minute, 1 Second

Zheng Wang discovered that the Broadcom FullMAC WLAN driver in the Linux
kernel contained a race condition during device removal, leading to a use-
after-free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could possibly
use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-47233)

It was discovered that the Open vSwitch implementation in the Linux kernel
could overflow its stack during recursive action operations under certain
conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2024-1151)

Sander Wiebing, Alvise de Faveri Tron, Herbert Bos, and Cristiano Giuffrida
discovered that the Linux kernel mitigations for the initial Branch History
Injection vulnerability (CVE-2022-0001) were insufficient for Intel
processors. A local attacker could potentially use this to expose sensitive
information. (CVE-2024-2201)

Chenyuan Yang discovered that the RDS Protocol implementation in the Linux
kernel contained an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An attacker could use
this to possibly cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-23849)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
