#CVE-2023-29532: Mozilla Maintenance Service Write-lock bypass
- Reporter
- Holger Fuhrmannek
- Impact
- high
Description
A local attacker can trick the Mozilla Maintenance Service into applying an unsigned update file by pointing the service at an update file on a malicious SMB server. The update file can be replaced after the signature check, before the use, because the write-lock requested by the service does not work on a SMB server.
Note: This attack requires local system access and only affects Windows. Other operating systems are not affected.

Description
Mozilla developers Randell Jesup, Andrew Osmond, Sebastian Hengst, Andrew McCreight, and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 111 and Firefox ESR 102.9.
