[ Reason ]
New bugfix release
[ Impact ]
mozjs128 is the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine from Firefox ESR 128.
By comparing https://github.com/mozilla-firefox/firefox/commits/esr128/js
with https://www.mozilla.org/security/advisories/mfsa2025-44/ , I
identified one CVE which is fixed in this update.
mozjs128 is only used by gjs (for GNOME Shell and several GNOME apps)
and cjs (for Cinnamon). Practically, I am not aware of any Firefox
CVEs ever being used to attack the desktop via gjs or cjs. Notably,
debian-security-support says about mozjs128 "Not covered by security
support, only suitable for trusted content".
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/debian-security-support/-/blob/master/security-support.deb13#L28
[ Tests ]
mozjs128 has a trivial autopkgtest which is passing
I also completed manual testing of all gjs apps as described at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/gjs
[ Risks ]
mozjs128 is a key package for both GNOME and Cinnamon. Mozilla does a
good job of doing monthly releases with minimal, mostly security
related fixes for the ESR series.
One time a few years ago, a mozjs update broke the gnome-weather app
which was fixed with a simple rebuild of the app.
