Security vulnerabilities fixed in Firefox 69 — Mozilla

Logging-related command line parameters are not properly sanitized when Firefox is launched by another program, such as when a user clicks on malicious links in a chat application. This can be used to write a log file to an arbitrary location such as the Windows 'Startup' folder. Note: this issue...

ALPINE-CVE-2019-13377

The implementations of SAE and EAP-pwd in hostapd and wpasupplicant 2.x through 2.8 are vulnerable to side-channel attacks as a result of observable timing differences and cache access patterns when Brainpool curves are used. An attacker may be able to gain leaked information from a side-channel...

Mozilla Thunderbird < 60.7

The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 60.7. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2019-15 advisory. - A use-after-free vulnerability can occur in the chrome event handler when it is freed while still in use. This...

Mozilla Firefox ESR < 60.7

The version of Firefox ESR installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 60.7. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2019-14 advisory. - A use-after-free vulnerability can occur in the chrome event handler when it is freed while still in use. This...

Timing Attack

Overview Versions of express-basic-auth prior to 1.2.0 are vulnerable to Timing Attacks. The package uses nating string comparison instead of a constant time string compare which may lead to Timing Attacks. Timing Attacks can be used to increase the efficiency of brute-force attacks by removing t...

ALPINE-CVE-2019-9494

The implementations of SAE in hostapd and wpasupplicant are vulnerable to side channel attacks as a result of observable timing differences and cache access patterns. An attacker may be able to gain leaked information from a side channel attack that can be used for full password recovery. Both...

Updated openssl packages fix security vulnerabilities
