Descriptions
Regular expressions used to filter out forbidden properties and values from style directives in calls to <code>console.log</code> weren't accounting for external URLs. Data could then be potentially exfiltrated from the browser. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 109, Thunderbird < 102.7, and Firefox ESR < 102.7.
The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as: Regular expressions used to filter out forbidden properties and values from style directives in calls to `console.log` weren't accounting for external URLs. Data could then be potentially exfiltrated from the browser.
USN-5816-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. The update introduced several minor regressions. This update fixes the problem. Niklas Baumstark discovered that a compromised web child process of Firefox could disable web security opening restrictions, leading to a new child process being spawned within the file:// context. Tom Schuster discovered that Firefox was not performing a validation check on GTK drag data. An attacker could potentially exploits this to obtain sensitive information. Various other issues were also addressed.
