There is an IRC Client, Calendar, and DOM Inspector that we've been missing. I'll add the requisite options to the mozconfig to that to be built, with instructions on how to disable it for those who don't want it.

#CVE-2021-29955: Transient Execution Vulnerability allowed leaking arbitrary memory address
Reporter
Hany Ragab, Enrico Barberis, Herbert Bos, and Cristiano Giuffrida from the VUSec group at VU Amsterdam
Impact
high
Description
A transient execution vulnerability, named Floating Point Value Injection (FPVI) allowed an attacker to leak arbitrary memory addresses and may have also enabled JIT type confusion attacks. (A related vulnerability, Speculative Code Store Bypass (SCSB), did not affect Firefox.)

#CVE-2021-23981: Texture upload into an unbound backing buffer resulted in an out-of-bound read
Reporter
Abraruddin Khan and Omair
Impact
high
Description
A texture upload of a Pixel Buffer Object could have confused the WebGL code to skip binding the buffer used to unpack it, resulting in memory corruption and a potentially exploitable information leak or crash.

#CVE-2021-23982: Internal network hosts could have been probed by a malicious webpage
Reporter
Samy Kamkar, Ben Seri, and Gregory Vishnepolsky
Impact
moderate
Description
Using techniques that built on the slipstream research, a malicious webpage could have scanned both an internal network's hosts as well as services running on the user's local machine utilizing WebRTC connections.

#CVE-2021-23984: Malicious extensions could have spoofed popup information
Reporter
Rob Wu
Impact
moderate
Description
A malicious extension could have opened a popup window lacking an address bar. The title of the popup lacking an address bar should not be fully controllable, but in this situation was. This could have been used to spoof a website and attempt to trick the user into providing credentials.

Reporter
Mozilla developers and community
Impact
high
Description
Mozilla developers and community members Alexis Beingessner, Tyson Smith, Julien Wajsberg, and Matthew Gregan reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 86 and Firefox ESR 78.8. 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.

#CVE-2021-29951: Mozilla Maintenance Service could have been started or stopped by domain users
Reporter
James Forshaw
Impact
moderate
Description
The Mozilla Maintenance Service granted SERVICE_START access to BUILTIN|Users which, in a domain network, grants normal remote users access to start or stop the service. This could be used to prevent the browser update service from operating (if an attacker spammed the 'Stop' command); but also exposed attack surface in the maintenance service.
Note: This issue only affected Windows operating systems older than Win 10 build 1709. Other operating systems are unaffected.

Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
As is common with the Seamonkey developers, there are some changes required:
"make -f client.mk" no longer works, you must use 'mach build' and 'mach install'.
However, system NSS now works again, and the RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP variable is no longer necessary as well.
