On Thursday, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) asked clients of Mozilla Foundation’s Firefox browser and Windows, macOS, and Linux clients of Google’s Chrome browser to fix bugs, traced as CVE-2020-16044 and CVE-2020-15995 respectively.
The vulnerability of CVE-2020-16044 is classified as a use-after-free bug and attached to the manner in which Firefox handles browser cookies and whenever exploited permits hackers to access the computer, telephone, or tablet running the browser software. Affected are Firefox browser renditions released before the recently released Firefox desktop 84.0.2, Firefox Android 84.1.3 edition, and furthermore Mozilla’s corporate ESR 78.6.1 version of Firefox. “A pernicious peer might have altered a COOKIE-ECHO chunk in a SCTP packet in a way that conceivably resulted in a use-after-free. We assume that with enough effort it might have been exploited to run arbitrary code,” as indicated by a Mozilla security notice.
