Firefox ESR: The first time AirPods are connected to an iPhone, they become named after the user's name by default…
CVE-2020-6812 is fixed in 10 products on 2 platforms, first by firefox 74.0+build3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1, released March 10, 2020. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
The first time AirPods are connected to an iPhone, they become named after the user's name by default (e.g. Jane Doe's AirPods.) Websites with camera or microphone permission are able to enumerate device names, disclosing the user's name. To resolve this issue, Firefox added a special case that renames devices containing the substring 'AirPods' to simply 'AirPods'. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 68.6, Firefox < 74, Firefox < ESR68.6, and Firefox ESR < 68.6.
