Mozilla addressed multiple security vulnerabilities by releasing two security advisories and four of the bugs have high impact.

One of the four vulnerabilities is a Time-of-Check Time-of-Use bug (CVE-2022-26387), which occurs when installing an add-on and Firefox verifies the signature before prompting the user; however, while the user was confirming the prompt, the underlying add-on file could have been modified without Firefox noticing.

The second vulnerability(CVE-2022-26384) allows an attacker to control the contents of an iframe sandboxed with allow-popups but not allow-scripts, allowing them to build a link that, when clicked, will result in JavaScript execution outside of the sandbox.

Third in the lot, is a spoofing vulnerability that occurs when resizing a popup after requesting Fullscreen access, the popup would not display the Fullscreen notification

The last one is the Use-After-free flaw, which is a well-known vulnerability in browsers. An attacker can exploit this flaw to force a text reflow in an SVG object, potentially leading to a crash.

All these vulnerabilities has been patched in Firefox ESR 91.7 and Firefox 98
