Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Improper locking (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-2817)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper locking mechanism in Firefox Updater. A medium-integrity user process can interfere with the SYSTEM-level updater by manipulating the file-locking behavior by injecting code into the user-privileged process. A local user or malicious software installed on the system can bypass intended access controls, allowing SYSTEM-level file operations on paths controlled by a non-privileged user and enabling privilege escalation.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
