Los datos inconsistentes en las instrucciones y en el caché de datos al crear código wasm podrían provocar un fallo potencialmente explotable.<br>*Este error solo afecta a Firefox en plataformas ARM64.*. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a Firefox ESR < 102.3, Thunderbird < 102.3 y Firefox < 105.

A flaw was found in Mozilla. The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes the issue of inconsistent data in the instruction and data cache when creating wasm code, which could lead to a potentially exploitable crash.

Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted website in a browsing context, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, bypass Content Security Policy or other security restrictions, or execute arbitrary code. These issues only affect Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
