Descriptions
When in an endless loop, a website specifying a custom cursor using CSS could make it look like the user is interacting with the user interface, when they are not. This could lead to a perceived broken state, especially when interactions with existing browser dialogs and warnings do not work. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 78.1, Firefox < 79, and Thunderbird < 78.1.
Cuando en un bucle infinito, un sitio web que especifica un cursor personalizado usando CSS podría hacer que parezca que el usuario está interactuando con la interfaz de usuario, cuando no es así. Esto podría conllevar a un estado roto percibido, especialmente cuando las interacciones con los diálogos y advertencias del navegador existentes no funcionan. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a Firefox ESR versiones anteriores a 78.1, Firefox versiones anteriores a 79 y Thunderbird versiones anteriores a 78.1
Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information, bypass iframe sandbox restrictions, confuse the user, or execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that redirected HTTP requests which are observed or modified through a web extension could bypass existing CORS checks. If a user were tricked in to installing a specially crafted extension, an attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive information across origins. Various other issues were also addressed.
