CVE-2023-4577

Cuando `UpdateRegExpStatics` intentó acceder a `initialStringHeap`, es posible que ya se haya recolectado basura antes de ingresar a la función, lo que podría haber provocado un bloqueo explotable. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a Firefox < 117, Firefox ESR < 115.2 y Thunderbird < 115.2.

The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as: When `UpdateRegExpStatics` attempted to access `initialStringHeap` it could already have been garbage collected prior to entering the function, which could potentially have led to an exploitable crash.

Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information across domains, or execute arbitrary code. Lukas Bernhard discovered that Firefox did not properly manage memory when the "UpdateRegExpStatics" attempted to access "initialStringHeap". An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service.
