Bug description:
Impact
------
mozjs102 is the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine from Firefox ESR. It is used
by gjs to power GNOME Shell and some GNOME apps.
102.15.1 is the final Firefox 102 ESR release as the 102 ESR series reaches
End of Life next week.

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/mfsa2023-23/
and found only one CVE
CVE-2023-4046: Incorrect value used during WASM compilation
In fact, this was the only commit since 102.13.0 which is already in
stable Ubuntu.
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/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
----------
It is believed that the only thing using mozjs102 in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is
actually cjs in Linux Mint 21.2 It was proposed to switch Ubuntu's gjs to use
it there also but that is currently on hold (benefit/risk analysis). See LP:
#1993214
Ubuntu 23.10 is likely to switch to mozjs115 for gjs (and keep
mozjs102 for cjs).
