Descriptions

Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 116, Firefox ESR 102.14, Firefox ESR 115.1, Thunderbird 102.14, and Thunderbird 115.1. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 117, Firefox ESR < 102.15, Firefox ESR < 115.2, Thunderbird < 102.15, and Thunderbird < 115.2.

Algunos de estos errores mostraron evidencia de corrupción de memoria y suponemos que con suficiente esfuerzo algunos de ellos podrían haberse aprovechado para ejecutar código arbitrario. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a Firefox < 117, Firefox ESR < 102.15, Firefox ESR < 115.2 y Thunderbird < 115.2.
