Descriptions

Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 129. 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 < 130.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Spidermonkey, the worst of which could lead to arbitrary code execution. Versions greater than or equal to 115.15.0:115 are affected.
