    descriptionThe version of Firefox installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 76.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2020-16 advisory. - A race condition when running shutdown code for Web Worker led to a use-after-free vulnerability. This resulted in a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2020-12387) - The Firefox content processes did not sufficiently lockdown access control which could result in a sandbox escape.Note: this issue only affects Firefox on Windows operating systems. (CVE-2020-12388, CVE-2020-12389) - A buffer overflow could occur when parsing and validating SCTP chunks in WebRTC. This could have led to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2020-6831) - Incorrect origin serialization of URLs with IPv6 addresses could lead to incorrect security checks (CVE-2020-12390) - Documents formed using data: URLs in an object element failed to inherit the CSP of the creating context.

    descriptionThe version of Firefox installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 76.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2020-16 advisory. - A race condition when running shutdown code for Web Worker led to a use-after-free vulnerability. This resulted in a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2020-12387) - The Firefox content processes did not sufficiently lockdown access control which could result in a sandbox escape.Note: this issue only affects Firefox on Windows operating systems. (CVE-2020-12388, CVE-2020-12389) - A buffer overflow could occur when parsing and validating SCTP chunks in WebRTC. This could have led to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2020-6831) - Incorrect origin serialization of URLs with IPv6 addresses could lead to incorrect security checks (CVE-2020-12390) - Documents formed using data: URLs in an object element failed to inherit the CSP of the creating context. This allowed the execution of scripts that should have been blocked, albeit with a unique opaque origin. (CVE-2020-12391) - The

        not properly escape the HTTP POST data of a request,
        which can be controlled by the website. If a user used

        68.7. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory
        corruption and we presume that with enough effort some
