CVE-2024-8382
Publication date 3 September 2024
Last updated 11 September 2024
Ubuntu priority
Cvss 3 Severity Score
Internal browser event interfaces were exposed to web content when privileged EventHandler listener callbacks ran for those events. Web content that tried to use those interfaces would not be able to use them with elevated privileges, but their presence would indicate certain browser features had been used, such as when a user opened the Dev Tools console. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 130, Firefox ESR < 128.2, Firefox ESR < 115.15, Thunderbird < 128.2, and Thunderbird < 115.15.

It is not feasible to backport security fixes to the mozjs* packages, as such, marking them as ignored. starting with Ubuntu 22.04, the firefox package is just a script that installs the Firefox snap starting with Ubuntu 24.04, the thunderbird package is just a script that installs the Thunderbird snap
