How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.3 MozillaFirefox-translations-other to version 102.10.0-150200.152.84.1 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:15.3 relevant fixed versions and status.

A local attacker can trick the Mozilla Maintenance Service into applying an unsigned update file by pointing the service at an update file on a malicious SMB server. The update file can be replaced after the signature check, before the use, because the write-lock requested by the service does not work on a SMB server.

Note: This attack requires local system access and only affects Windows. Other operating systems are not affected. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 112, Firefox ESR < 102.10, and Thunderbird < 102.10.
