Description

Multiple security vulnerabilities affecting Mozilla Firefox as packaged by Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 have been addressed in an important security update. The issues include use-after-free bugs, race conditions, same-origin policy bypasses, mitigation bypasses, incorrect boundary conditions, and spoofing vulnerabilities across various Firefox components such as DOM, Audio/Video, WebAssembly, WebRTC, Graphics, and Notifications. These vulnerabilities could potentially allow attackers to bypass security controls or cause memory corruption. Red Hat has released updated Firefox packages for multiple architectures and platforms within RHEL 8 to remediate these issues.
