USN-4122-2: Firefox regression
8 October 2019

firefox regression
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

  o Ubuntu 19.04
  o Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
  o Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Summary

USN-4122-1 caused a regression in Firefox.

Software Description

  o firefox - Mozilla Open Source web browser

Details

USN-4122-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. The update caused a regression
that resulted in a crash when changing YouTube playback speed in some
circumstances. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in
to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit
these to obtain sensitive information, bypass Content Security Policy (CSP)
protections, bypass same-origin restrictions, conduct cross-site scripting
(XSS) attacks, cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2019-5849, CVE-2019-11734, CVE-2019-11735, CVE-2019-11737, CVE-2019-11738,
CVE-2019-11740, CVE-2019-11742, CVE-2019-11743, CVE-2019-11744, CVE-2019-11746,
CVE-2019-11748, CVE-2019-11749, CVE-2019-11750, CVE-2019-11752)

It was discovered that a compromised content process could log in to a
malicious Firefox Sync account. An attacker could potentially exploit this, in
combination with another vulnerability, to disable the sandbox. (CVE-2019-9812)

It was discovered that addons.mozilla.org and accounts.firefox.com could be
loaded in to the same content process. An attacker could potentially exploit
this, in combination with another vulnerability that allowed a cross-site
scripting (XSS) attack, to modify browser settings. (CVE-2019-11741)

It was discovered that the "Forget about this site" feature in the history pane
removes HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) settings for sites on the
pre-load list. An attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass the
protections offered by HSTS. (CVE-2019-11747)
