Descriptions

By causing a transition on a parent node by removing a CSS rule, an invalid property for a marker could have been applied, resulting in memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 87.

Al causar una transición en un nodo principal mediante la eliminación de una regla CSS, se podría haber aplicado una propiedad no válida para un marcador, resultando en una corrupción de la memoria y un bloqueo potencialmente explotable.&#xa0;Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a Firefox versiones anteriores a 87.

Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information, or execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that extensions could open popup windows with control of the window title in some circumstances. If a user were tricked into installing a specially crafted extension, an attacker could potentially exploit this to spook a website and trick the user into providing credentials. Various other issues were also addressed.
