#CVE-2023-23597: Logic bug in process allocation allowed to read arbitrary files
- Reporter
- Niklas Baumstark

Description
A compromised web child process could disable web security opening restrictions, leading to a new child process being spawned within the file:// context. Given a reliable exploit primitive, this new process could be exploited again leading to arbitrary file read.

- Reporter
- Tom Schuster

#CVE-2023-23600: Notification permissions persisted between Normal and Private Browsing on Android
- Reporter
- Kazuki Nomoto of Waseda University
- Impact
- moderate
Description
Per origin notification permissions were being stored in a way that didn't take into account what browsing context the permission was granted in. This lead to the possibility of notifications to be displayed during different browsing sessions.
This bug only affects Firefox for Android. Other operating systems are unaffected.

#CVE-2023-23605: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 109 and Firefox ESR 102.7
- Reporter
- Mozilla developers
- Impact
- high
Description
Mozilla developers and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 108 and Firefox ESR 102.6. 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.
