Descriptions

When recursing through graphical layers while scrolling, an iterator may have become invalid, resulting in a potential use-after-free. This occurs because the function APZCTreeManager::ComputeClippedCompositionBounds did not follow iterator invalidation rules. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 81, Thunderbird < 78.3, and Firefox ESR < 78.3.

Al volver a recorrer las capas gráficas mientras se desplaza, es posible que un iterador pueda convertirse en no válido, resultando en un potencial uso de la memoria previamente liberada.&#xa0;Esto ocurre porque la función APZCTreeManager::ComputeClippedCompositionBounds no siguió las reglas de invalidación del iterador.&#xa0;Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a Firefox versiones anteriores a 81, Thunderbird versiones anteriores a 78.3, y Firefox ESR versiones anteriores a 78.3

The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as:

When recursing through graphical layers while scrolling, an iterator may have become invalid, resulting in a potential use-after-free. This occurs because the function `APZCTreeManager::ComputeClippedCompositionBounds` did not follow iterator invalidation rules.
