Las optimizaciones JIT que involucran el objeto de argumentos de Javascript podrían confundir optimizaciones posteriores. Este riesgo ya fue mitigado por varias precauciones en el código, resultando en este error calificado con una severidad moderada. 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.
