Pale Moon Version 29.1.1 Released with Security Update


Pale Moon

Pale Moon has been updated to version 29.1.1.  This update is a minor security and bugfix update.  Linux versions will follow soon.

Changes/fixes:
  • Updated NSS to fix certificate import and keygen regressions.
  • Removed restrictions for units of width/height attributes on SVG elements.
  • Enabled scrollbar-width CSS keyword by default.
  • Security issues addressed: CVE-2021-23981 and a DiD* fix for potential document parser confusion.
  • Unified XUL Platform Mozilla Security Patch Summary: 2 DiD*, 9 not applicable.

*DiD This means that a fix is "Defense-in-Depth": It is a fix that does not apply to a (potentially) actively exploitable vulnerability in Pale Moon, but prevents future vulnerabilities caused by the same code, e.g. when surrounding code changes, exposing the problem, or when new attack vectors are discovered.

Pale Moon includes both 32- and 64-bit versions for Windows:
