BSD PortsMozilla -- privilege escalation attack
[email protected] reports: Leaking of file descriptors from the fork server to web content processes could allow for privilege escalation attacks.
Affected versions
- firefox < 137.0,2
- librewolf < 137.0
- thunderbird < 137.0
By system
2 still vulnerable, 3 fixed. Where VuXML applies (FreeBSD, DragonFly, FreeBSD's derivatives) a port is vulnerable while its version is in a range; pkgsrc says itself whether it lists a CVE of this advisory; OpenBSD and MidnightBSD keep no list this site reads, so their row is only an estimate: FreeBSD's ranges applied to upstream's version.
