Summary

Security vulnerabilities have been found in Firefox ESR, a web browser used in IGEL OS. This affects the following product versions:

  • IGEL OS 12

  • IGEL OS 11

Details

Mozilla reports multiple sandbox escapes in Firefox ESR, one in the Remote Settings Client component (CVE-2026-75874), another due to use-after-free in DOM: Navigation (CVE-2026-84119), and one more due to use-after-free in DOM: Security (CVE-2026-84121). Mozilla rates these as high, but CISA-ASP upgrades them to critical. The same applies to a collection of internally found bugs in Firefox ESR (CVE-2026-84143).

Privilege escalation issues affect the DOM: Workers (CVE-2026-16365, high) and Graphics: CanvasWebGL components (CVEs 2026-92006 to 2026-92012, high).

In total, Mozilla reports 40 security issues. The complete list can be found in the References.

Update Instructions

  • OS 12: Upgrade Firefox ESR app to version 140.16 as soon as it is available on the IGEL APP Portal.

  • OS 11: IGEL OS 11 reached End of Maintenance in June 2026. To ensure continued access to security updates and support, we recommend migrating to IGEL OS 12.
