Original advisory details:
Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were
tricked into opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could
potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, spoof the browser
UI, bypass security restrictions, obtain sensitive information, or execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-0843, CVE-2022-26381, CVE-2022-26382,
CVE-2022-26383, CVE-2022-26384, CVE-2022-26385)
A TOCTOU bug was discovered when verifying addon signatures during
install. A local attacker could potentially exploit this to trick a
user into installing an addon with an invalid signature.
