The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2021-4116 advisory.

  • The iframe sandbox rules were not correctly applied to XSLT stylesheets, allowing an iframe to bypass restrictions such as executing scripts or navigating the top-level frame. (CVE-2021-38503)

  • When interacting with an HTML input element’s file picker dialog with <code>webkitdirectory</code> set, a use-after-free could have resulted, leading to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash.
    (CVE-2021-38504)

  • Through a series of navigations, Firefox could have entered fullscreen mode without notification or warning to the user. This could lead to spoofing attacks on the browser UI including phishing.
    (CVE-2021-38506)

  • The Opportunistic Encryption feature of HTTP2 (RFC 8164) allows a connection to be transparently upgraded to TLS while retaining the visual properties of an HTTP connection, including being same-origin with unencrypted connections on port 80. However, if a second encrypted port on the same IP address (e.g. port 8443) did not opt-in to opportunistic encryption; a network attacker could forward a connection from the browser to port 443 to port 8443, causing the browser to treat the content of port 8443 as same-origin with HTTP. This was resolved by disabling the Opportunistic Encryption feature, which had low usage.
    (CVE-2021-38507)

  • By displaying a form validity message in the correct location at the same time as a permission prompt (such as for geolocation), the validity message could have obscured the prompt, resulting in the user potentially being tricked into granting the permission. (CVE-2021-38508)

  • Due to an unusual sequence of attacker-controlled events, a Javascript <code>alert()</code> dialog with arbitrary (although unstyled) contents could be displayed over top an uncontrolled webpage of the attacker’s choosing. (CVE-2021-38509)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
