Firefox ESR and 2 others: When DNS over HTTPS is in use, it intentionally filters RFC1918 and related IP ranges from the responses…
CVE-2020-26961 is fixed in 11 products on 2 platforms, first by firefox 83.0+build2-0ubuntu0.18.04.2, released November 16, 2020. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
When DNS over HTTPS is in use, it intentionally filters RFC1918 and related IP ranges from the responses as these do not make sense coming from a DoH resolver. However when an IPv4 address was mapped through IPv6, these addresses were erroneously let through, leading to a potential DNS Rebinding attack. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 83, Firefox ESR < 78.5, and Thunderbird < 78.5.
