Descriptions

A race condition could have led to private browsing tabs being opened in normal browsing windows. This could have resulted in a potential privacy leak. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 135, Firefox ESR < 128.7, Thunderbird < 128.7, and Thunderbird < 135.

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. Ivan Fratric discovered that Firefox did not properly handle XSLT data, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code.
