Descriptions

The first time AirPods are connected to an iPhone, they become named after the user's name by default (e.g. Jane Doe's AirPods.) Websites with camera or microphone permission are able to enumerate device names, disclosing the user's name. To resolve this issue, Firefox added a special case that renames devices containing the substring 'AirPods' to simply 'AirPods'. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 68.6, Firefox < 74, Firefox < ESR68.6, and Firefox ESR < 68.6.

La primera vez que los AirPods se conectaron a un iPhone, se venían nombrando con el nombre del usuario por defecto (por ejemplo, los AirPods de Jane Doe). Los sitios web con permiso de cámara o micrófono pueden enumerar los nombres de los dispositivos, revelando el nombre del usuario. Para resolver este problema, Firefox agregó un caso especial que renombra los dispositivos que contienen la subcadena "AirPods" a simplemente "AirPods". Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a Thunderbird versiones anteriores a 68.6, Firefox versiones anteriores a 74, Firefox versiones anteriores a ESR68.6 y Firefox ESR versiones anteriores a 68.6.

The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as:
