CVE-2023-34414: Click -jacking certificate exceptions through rendering lag
Impact high
Description
CVE-2023-34414
The error page for sites with invalid TLS certificates was missing the activation-delay Firefox uses to protect prompts and permission dialogs from attacks that exploit human response time delays. If a malicious page elicited user clicks in precise locations immediately before navigating to a site with a certificate error and simultaneously made the renderer extremely busy, it could create a gap between when the error page was loaded and when the display refreshed. With the right timing, the elicited clicks could land in a gap and activate the button that overrides the certificate error for that site.

Impact moderate
Description
When choosing a site-isolated process for a document loaded from a data: URL that was the result of a redirect, Firefox would load that document in the same process as the site that issued the redirect. This bypassed the site-isolation protections against Spectre-like attacks on sites that host an “open redirect”. Firefox no longer follows HTTP redirects to data: URLs
