Descriptions

Due to a missing case handling object types, a type confusion vulnerability could occur, resulting in a crash. We presume that with enough effort that it could be exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 68.4 and Firefox < 72.

Debido a una falta de tipos de objetos del manejo de casos, podría ocurrir una vulnerabilidad de confusión de tipos, resultando en un bloqueo. Suponemos que con el esfuerzo suficiente podría ser explotado para ejecutar código arbitrario. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a Firefox ESR versiones anteriores a la versión 68.4 y Firefox versiones anteriores a la versión 72.
