# CVE-2020-6805: Use-after-free when removing data about origins

When removing data about an origin whose tab was recently closed, a
use-after-free could occur in the Quota manager, resulting in a potentially
exploitable crash.

# CVE-2020-6806: BodyStream::OnInputStreamReady was missing protections against
state confusion
Reporter
Sergei Glazunov of Google Project Zero
Impact
high
Description
By carefully crafting promise resolutions, it was possible to cause an
out-of-bounds read off the end of an array resized during script execution.
This could have led to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash.

# CVE-2020-6807: Use-after-free in cubeb during stream destruction
Reporter
C.M.Chang
Impact
high
Description
When a device was changed while a stream was about to be destroyed, the
stream-reinit task may have been executed after the stream was destroyed,
causing a use-after-free and a potentially exploitable crash.

# CVE-2020-6808: URL Spoofing via javascript: URL
Reporter
Abdulrahman Alqabandi
Impact
moderate
Description
When a JavaScript URL (javascript:) is evaluated and the result is a string,
this string is parsed to create an HTML document, which is then presented.
Previously, this document's URL (as reported by the document.location property,
for example) was the originating javascript: URL which could lead to spoofing
attacks; it is now correctly the URL of the originating document.

# CVE-2020-6809: Web Extensions with the all-urls permission could access local
files
Reporter
Jan Biniok
Impact
moderate
Description
When a Web Extension had the all-urls permission and made a fetch request with
a mode set to 'same-origin', it was possible for the Web Extension to read
local files.

# CVE-2020-6810: Focusing a popup while in fullscreen could have obscured the
fullscreen notification
Reporter
Avi Drissman of the Chrome security team
Impact
moderate
Description
After a website had entered fullscreen mode, it could have used a previously
opened popup to obscure the notification that indicates the browser is in
fullscreen mode. Combined with spoofing the browser chrome, this could have led
to confusing the user about the current origin of the page and credential theft
or other attacks.

o Bug 1432856
# CVE-2020-6811: Devtools' 'Copy as cURL' feature did not fully escape
website-controlled data, potentially leading to command injection
Reporter
Ophir LOJKINE
Impact
moderate
Description
The 'Copy as cURL' feature of Devtools' network tab did not properly escape the
HTTP method of a request, which can be controlled by the website. If a user
used the 'Copy as Curl' feature and pasted the command into a terminal, it
could have resulted in command injection and arbitrary command execution.

o Bug 1607742
# CVE-2019-20503: Out of bounds reads in sctp_load_addresses_from_init
Reporter
Natalie Silvanovich of Google Project Zero
Impact
moderate
Description
The inputs to sctp_load_addresses_from_init are verified by
sctp_arethere_unrecognized_parameters ; however, the two functions handled
parameter bounds differently, resulting in out of bounds reads when parameters
are partially outside a chunk.

# CVE-2020-6812: The names of AirPods with personally identifiable information
were exposed to websites with camera or microphone permission
Reporter
Jan-Ivar Bruaroey
Impact
moderate
Description
The first time AirPods are connected to an iPhone, they become named after the
user's name by default (e.g. Jane Doe's AirPods.) Websites with camera or
microphone permission are able to enumerate device names, disclosing the user's
name. To resolve this issue, Firefox added a special case that renames devices
containing the substring 'AirPods' to simply 'AirPods'.

o Bug 1616661
# CVE-2020-6813: @import statements in CSS could bypass the Content Security
Policy nonce feature
Reporter
Matheus Vrech
Impact
low
Description
When protecting CSS blocks with the nonce feature of Content Security Policy,
the @import statement in the CSS block could allow an attacker to inject
arbitrary styles, bypassing the intent of the Content Security Policy.

# CVE-2020-6814: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 74 and Firefox ESR 68.6
Reporter
Mozilla developers
Impact
high
Description
Mozilla developers Byron Campen, Jason Kratzer, and Christian Holler reported
memory safety bugs present in Firefox 73 and Firefox ESR 68.5. Some of these
bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough
effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code.
