# CVE-2020-15652: Potential leak of redirect targets when loading scripts in a
worker
Reporter
Mikhail Oblozhikhin
Impact
high
Description
By observing the stack trace for JavaScript errors in web workers, it was
possible to leak the result of a cross-origin redirect. This applied only to
content that can be parsed as script.

# CVE-2020-6514: WebRTC data channel leaks internal address to peer
Reporter
Natalie Silvanovich of Google Project Zero
Impact
high
Description
WebRTC used the memory address of a class instance as a connection identifier.
Unfortunately, this value is often transmitted to the peer, which allows
bypassing ASLR.

o Bug 1642792
# CVE-2020-15655: Extension APIs could be used to bypass Same-Origin Policy
Reporter
Rob Wu
Impact
high
Description
Mozilla Developer Rob Wu discovered that a redirected HTTP request which is
observed or modified through a web extension could bypass existing CORS checks,
leading to potential disclosure of cross-origin information.

# CVE-2020-15653: Bypassing iframe sandbox when allowing popups
Reporter
Anne van Kesteren
Impact
moderate
Description
Mozilla developer Anne van Kesteren discovered that <iframe sandbox> with the
allow-popups flag could be bypassed when using noopener links. This could have
led to security issues for websites relying on sandbox configurations that
allowed popups and hosted arbitrary content.

o Bug 1521542
# CVE-2020-6463: Use-after-free in ANGLE gl::Texture::onUnbindAsSamplerTexture
Reporter
Reported by Pawel Wylecial of REDTEAM.PL
Impact
moderate
Description
Crafted media files could lead to a race in texture caches, resulting in a
use-after-free, memory corruption, and a potentially exploitable crash.

o Bug 1635293
# CVE-2020-15656: Type confusion for special arguments in IonMonkey
Reporter
Carl Smith, working with Google Project Zero
Impact
moderate
Description
JIT optimizations involving the Javascript arguments object could confuse later
optimizations. This risk was already mitigated by various precautions in the
code, resulting in this bug rated at only moderate severity.

o Bug 1647293
# CVE-2020-15658: Overriding file type when saving to disk
Reporter
belden
Impact
low
Description
The code for downloading files did not properly take care of special
characters, which led to an attacker being able to cut off the file ending at
an earlier position, leading to a different file type being downloaded than
shown in the dialog.
References
o Bug 1637745
# CVE-2020-15657: DLL hijacking due to incorrect loading path
Reporter
Steve Nyan Lin
Impact
low
Description
Firefox could be made to load attacker-supplied DLL files from the installation
directory. This required an attacker that is already capable of placing files
in the installation directory.
Note: This issue only affected Windows operating systems. Other operating
systems are unaffected.

o Bug 1644954
# CVE-2020-15654: Custom cursor can overlay user interface
Reporter
SophosLabs Offensive Security team
Impact
low
Description
When in an endless loop, a website specifying a custom cursor using CSS could
make it look like the user is interacting with the user interface, when they
are not. This could lead to a perceived broken state, especially when
interactions with existing browser dialogs and warnings do not work.

o Bug 1648333
# CVE-2020-15659: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 79
Reporter
Mozilla developers and community
Impact
high
Description
Mozilla developers and community members Kevin Brosnan, Alexandru Michis,
Natalia Csoregi, Jason Kratzer, Christian Holler, Simon Giesecke, Luke Wagner
reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 78. 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.
