CVE-2020-15659

Los desarrolladores de Mozilla y los miembros de la comunidad informaron bugs de seguridad de la memoria presentes en Firefox versión 78 y Firefox ESR versión 78.0. Algunos de estos bugs mostraron evidencia de corrupción de la memoria y suponemos que con un suficiente esfuerzo algunos de ellos podrían haberse explotado para ejecutar código arbitrario. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a Firefox versiones anteriores a 79, Firefox ESR versiones anteriores a 68.11, Firefox ESR versiones anteriores a 78.1, Thunderbird versiones anteriores a 68.11 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.
