How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.1 MozillaFirefox-translations-other to version 68.1.0-3.54.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream MozillaFirefox-translations-other package and not the MozillaFirefox-translations-other package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.

Given a compromised sandboxed content process due to a separate vulnerability, it is possible to escape that sandbox by loading accounts.firefox.com in that process and forcing a log-in to a malicious Firefox Sync account. Preference settings that disable the sandbox are then synchronized to the local machine and the compromised browser would restart without the sandbox if a crash is triggered. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 60.9, Firefox ESR < 68.1, and Firefox < 69.
