Noroxi assessment

Priority: Plan (action score 58/100)

  • CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild (Mar 3, 2022). Remediation deadline for US federal agencies: Mar 24, 2022.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 6.6% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 93.8% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: icedove (Debian:7) 17.0.7-1~deb7u1; iceweasel (Debian:7) 17.0.6esr-1~deb7u1; firefox (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::server) 0:17.0.6-1.el5_9.

Add it to your regular patch cycle. Upgrade to icedove (Debian:7) 17.0.7-1~deb7u1; iceweasel (Debian:7) 17.0.6esr-1~deb7u1; firefox (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:5::server) 0:17.0.6-1.el5_9 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · CISA KEV · FIRST EPSS

Mozilla Firefox before 21.0, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.6, Thunderbird before 17.0.6, and Thunderbird ESR 17.x before 17.0.6 do not properly initialize data structures for the nsDOMSVGZoomEvent::mPreviousScale and nsDOMSVGZoomEvent::mNewScale functions, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory via a crafted web site.

Vulnrichment: CISA's decision-tree inputs.

Actively exploited in the wild

CISA added this to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on Mar 3, 2022. That signals real attacks, not theory.

Remediation deadline for US federal agencies: Mar 24, 2022.

No credits in the CNA record.

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
