Descriptions

It was possible to recreate previous cursor spoofing attacks against users with a zoomed native cursor. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0, and Firefox < 95.

Se han podido recrear ataques anteriores de suplantación del cursor contra usuarios con un cursor nativo ampliado. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a Thunderbird versiones anteriores a 91.4.0, Firefox ESR versiones anteriores a 91.4.0 y Firefox versiones anteriores a 95

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, conduct spoofing attacks, bypass CSP restrictions, or execute arbitrary code. A security issue was discovered with the handling of WebExtension permissions. If a user were tricked into installing a specially crafted extension, an attacker could potentially exploit this to create and install a service worker that wouldn't be uninstalled with the extension. Various other issues were also addressed.
