The Mozilla Foundation's Security Advisory: The application can fail to account for exceptions thrown by the `loadManifestFromFile` method during add-on signature verification. This flaw is triggered by an invalid or unsupported extension manifest and could cause runtime errors that disrupt the signature validation process. As a result, the enforcement of signature validation for unrelated add-ons may be bypassed. Signature validation in this context is used to ensure that third-party applications on the user's computer have not tampered with the user's extensions, limiting the impact of this issue.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-11-26 14:02:28 UTC
The application failed to account for exceptions thrown by the `loadManifestFromFile` method during add-on signature verification. This flaw, triggered by an invalid or unsupported extension manifest, could have caused runtime errors that disrupted the signature validation process. As a result, the enforcement of signature validation for unrelated add-ons may have been bypassed.  Signature validation in this context is used to ensure that third-party applications on the user's computer have not tampered with the user's extensions, limiting the impact of this issue. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 133, Firefox ESR < 128.5, Thunderbird < 133, and Thunderbird < 128.5.
