Bug description:

by gjs to power GNOME Shell and some GNOME apps.
There are new Firefox 102 ESR releases monthly until the end of August.

Security Impact
---------------
I looked through
https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/commits/esr102/js
and searched for referenced bug numbers in
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2023-19/
and found one CVE, 2023-34416
Test Case
---------
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/gjs
Additionally, mozjs102 has build tests. mozjs102 does not have
autopkgtests of its own but it triggers the gjs autopkgtests.
Security Sponsoring
-------------------
sudo apt install git-buildpackage
mkdir ../tarballs; cd ../tarballs
pull-lp-source mozjs102 mantic
# That avoids needing to recreate the original tarball from pristine-tar
which takes a while. Also, running lintian takes a while.
cd ..
gbp clone https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/mozjs
cd mozjs
git checkout ubuntu/102/lunar
gbp buildpackage --git-builder="debuild --no-lintian -S -nc"
--git-tarball-dir=../tarballs
git checkout ubuntu/102/kinetic
gbp buildpackage --git-builder="debuild --no-lintian -S -nc"
--git-tarball-dir=../tarballs
git checkout ubuntu/102/jammy
gbp buildpackage --git-builder="debuild --no-lintian -S -nc"
--git-tarball-dir=../tarballs
Initial Testing Done
--------------------
I built the package locally.
I installed the library package on Ubuntu 23.04 and successfully completed
the Test Case.
Other Info
----------
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS currently has no packages using it yet, but it is still a
goal to update gjs there to use mozjs102. See LP: #1993214
Also, it's believed that Linux Mint will switch their cjs packages to
use mozjs102 in 2023.
