Summary

On Android systems, Firefox can load a library from APITRACE_LIB, which is writable by all users and applications. This could allow malicious third party applications to execute a man-in-the-middle attack if a malicious code was written to that location and loaded. *Note: This issue only affects Android. Other operating systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 66.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Leveraging/Manipulating Configuration File Search Paths
    This attack loads a malicious resource into a program's standard path used to bootstrap and/or provide contextual information for a program like a path variable or classpath. J2EE applications and other component based applications that are built from multiple binaries can have very long list of dependencies to execute. If one of these libraries and/or references is controllable by the attacker then application controls can be circumvented by the attacker. A standard UNIX path looks similar to this If the attacker modifies the path variable to point to a locale that includes malicious resources then the user unwittingly can execute commands on the attackers' behalf: This is a form of usurping control of the program and the attack can be done on the classpath, database resources, or any other resources built from compound parts. At runtime detection and blocking of this attack is nearly impossible, because the configuration allows execution.

    descriptionThe version of Firefox installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 66.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2019-07 advisory. - A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when a raw pointer to a DOM element on a page is obtained using JavaScript and the element is then removed while still in use. This results in a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2019-9790) - The type inference system allows the compilation of functions that can cause type confusions between arbitrary objects when compiled through the IonMonkey just-in-time (JIT) compiler and when the constructor function is entered through on-stack replacement (OSR). This allows for possible arbitrary reading and writing of objects during an exploitable crash. (CVE-2019-9791) - The IonMonkey just-in-time (JIT) compiler can leak an internal JSOPTIMIZEDOUT magic value to the running script during a bailout. This magic value can then be used by JavaScript to achieve memory corruption, which results in a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2019-9792) - A mechanism was discovered that removes some bounds checking for string, array, or typed array accesses if Spectre mitigations have been disabled. This vulnerability could allow an attacker to create an arbitrary value in compiled JavaScript, for which the range analysis will infer a fully controlled, incorrect range in circumstances where users have explicitly disabled Spectre mitigations. Note: Spectre mitigations are currently enabled for all users by default settings. (CVE-2019-9793) - A vulnerability was discovered where specific command line arguments are not properly discarded during Firefox invocation as a shell handler for URLs. This could be used to retrieve and execute files whose location is supplied through these command line arguments if Firefox is configured as the default URI handler for a given URI scheme in third party applications and these applications insufficiently sanitize URL data. Note: This issue only affects Windows operating systems. Other operating systems are unaffected. (CVE-2019-9794) - A vulnerability where type-confusion in the IonMonkey just-in-time (JIT) compiler could potentially be used by malicious JavaScript to trigger a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2019-9795) - A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when the SMIL animation controller incorrectly registers with the refresh driver twice when only a single registration is expected. When a registration is later freed with the removal of the animation controller element, the refresh driver incorrectly leaves a dangling pointer to the driver

        just-in-time (JIT) compiler could potentially be used by
        malicious JavaScript to trigger a potentially
        exploitable crash. (CVE-2019-9795)
    
      - A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when the SMIL
        animation controller incorrectly registers with the
        refresh driver twice when only a single registration is
        expected. When a registration is later freed with the
        removal of the animation controller element, the refresh
        driver incorrectly leaves a dangling pointer to the
        driver's observer array. (CVE-2019-9796)
    
      - Cross-origin images can be read in violation of the
        same-origin policy by exporting an image after using
        createImageBitmap to read the image and
        then rendering the resulting bitmap image within a
        canvas element. (CVE-2019-9797)
    
      - On Android systems, Firefox can load a library from
        APITRACELIB, which is writable by all users
        and applications. This could allow malicious third party
        applications to execute a man-in-the-middle attack if a
        malicious code was written to that location and loaded.
         Note: This issue only affects Android. Other
        operating systems are unaffected. (CVE-2019-9798)
    
      - Insufficient bounds checking of data during inter-
        process communication might allow a compromised content
        process to be able to read memory from the parent
        process under certain conditions. (CVE-2019-9799)
    
      - Firefox will accept any registered Program ID as an
        external protocol handler and offer to launch this local
        application when given a matching URL on Windows
        operating systems. This should only happen if the
        program has specifically registered itself as a URL
        Handler in the Windows registry.  Note: This issue
        only affects Windows operating systems. Other operating
        systems are unaffected. (CVE-2019-9801)
    
      - If a Sandbox content process is compromised, it can
        initiate an FTP download which will then use a child
        process to render the downloaded data. The downloaded
        data can then be passed to the Chrome process with an
        arbitrary file length supplied by an attacker, bypassing
        sandbox protections and allow for a potential memory
        read of adjacent data from the privileged Chrome
        process, which may include sensitive data.
        (CVE-2019-9802)
    
      - The Upgrade-Insecure-Requests (UIR) specification states
        that if UIR is enabled through Content Security Policy
        (CSP), navigation to a same-origin URL must be upgraded
        to HTTPS. Firefox will incorrectly navigate to an HTTP
        URL rather than perform the security upgrade requested
        by the CSP in some circumstances, allowing for potential
        man-in-the-middle attacks on the linked resources.
        (CVE-2019-9803)
    
      - In Firefox Developer Tools it is possible that pasting

        attacks. (CVE-2019-9807)
    
      - If the source for resources on a page is through an FTP
        connection, it is possible to trigger a series of modal

    descriptionThe version of Firefox installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 66.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2019-07 advisory. - A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when a raw pointer to a DOM element on a page is obtained using JavaScript and the element is then removed while still in use. This results in a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2019-9790) - The type inference system allows the compilation of functions that can cause type confusions between arbitrary objects when compiled through the IonMonkey just-in-time (JIT) compiler and when the constructor function is entered through on-stack replacement (OSR). This allows for possible arbitrary reading and writing of objects during an exploitable crash. (CVE-2019-9791) - The IonMonkey just-in-time (JIT) compiler can leak an internal JSOPTIMIZEDOUT magic value to the running script during a bailout. This magic value can then be used by JavaScript to achieve memory corruption, which results in a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2019-9792) - A mechanism was discovered that removes some bounds checking for string, array, or typed array accesses if Spectre mitigations have been disabled. This vulnerability could allow an attacker to create an arbitrary value in compiled JavaScript, for which the range analysis will infer a fully controlled, incorrect range in circumstances where users have explicitly disabled Spectre mitigations. Note: Spectre mitigations are currently enabled for all users by default settings. (CVE-2019-9793) - A vulnerability was discovered where specific command line arguments are not properly discarded during Firefox invocation as a shell handler for URLs. This could be used to retrieve and execute files whose location is supplied through these command line arguments if Firefox is configured as the default URI handler for a given URI scheme in third party applications and these applications insufficiently sanitize URL data. Note: This issue only affects Windows operating systems. Other operating systems are unaffected. (CVE-2019-9794) - A vulnerability where type-confusion in the IonMonkey just-in-time (JIT) compiler could potentially be used by malicious JavaScript to trigger a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2019-9795) - A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when the SMIL animation controller incorrectly registers with the refresh driver twice when only a single registration is expected. When a registration is later freed with the removal of the animation controller element, the refresh driver incorrectly leaves a dangling pointer to the driver

        malicious JavaScript to trigger a potentially
        exploitable crash. (CVE-2019-9795)
    
      - A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when the SMIL
        animation controller incorrectly registers with the
        refresh driver twice when only a single registration is
        expected. When a registration is later freed with the
        removal of the animation controller element, the refresh
        driver incorrectly leaves a dangling pointer to the
        driver's observer array. (CVE-2019-9796)
    
      - Cross-origin images can be read in violation of the
        same-origin policy by exporting an image after using
        createImageBitmap to read the image and
        then rendering the resulting bitmap image within a
        canvas element. (CVE-2019-9797)
    
      - On Android systems, Firefox can load a library from
        APITRACELIB, which is writable by all users
        and applications. This could allow malicious third party
        applications to execute a man-in-the-middle attack if a
        malicious code was written to that location and loaded.
         Note: This issue only affects Android. Other
        operating systems are unaffected. (CVE-2019-9798)
    
      - Insufficient bounds checking of data during inter-
        process communication might allow a compromised content
        process to be able to read memory from the parent
        process under certain conditions. (CVE-2019-9799)
    
      - Firefox will accept any registered Program ID as an
        external protocol handler and offer to launch this local
        application when given a matching URL on Windows
        operating systems. This should only happen if the
        program has specifically registered itself as a URL
        Handler in the Windows registry.  Note: This issue
        only affects Windows operating systems. Other operating
        systems are unaffected. (CVE-2019-9801)
    
      - If a Sandbox content process is compromised, it can
        initiate an FTP download which will then use a child
        process to render the downloaded data. The downloaded
        data can then be passed to the Chrome process with an
        arbitrary file length supplied by an attacker, bypassing
        sandbox protections and allow for a potential memory
        read of adjacent data from the privileged Chrome
        process, which may include sensitive data.
        (CVE-2019-9802)
    
      - The Upgrade-Insecure-Requests (UIR) specification states
        that if UIR is enabled through Content Security Policy
        (CSP), navigation to a same-origin URL must be upgraded
        to HTTPS. Firefox will incorrectly navigate to an HTTP
        URL rather than perform the security upgrade requested
        by the CSP in some circumstances, allowing for potential
        man-in-the-middle attacks on the linked resources.
        (CVE-2019-9803)
    
      - In Firefox Developer Tools it is possible that pasting
        the result of the 'Copy as cURL'  command into a command
        shell on macOS will cause the execution of unintended
        additional bash script commands if the URL was
        maliciously crafted. This is the result of an issue with
        the native version of Bash on macOS.  Note: This
        issue only affects macOS. Other operating systems are
