Descriptions

During the worker lifecycle, a use-after-free condition could have occured, which could have led to a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 115.0.2, Firefox ESR < 115.0.2, and Thunderbird < 115.0.1.

The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as: During the worker lifecycle, a use-after-free condition could have occured, which could have led 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, obtain sensitive information, bypass security restrictions, cross-site tracing, or execute arbitrary code. Andrew McCreight discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage during the worker lifecycle. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service.
