Description

Mozilla developers Andrew McCreight, Nicolas B. Pierron, and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 100 and Firefox ESR 91.9. 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 Thunderbird < 91.10, Firefox < 101, and Firefox ESR < 91.10.

Affected products

• Mozilla Firefox: before 101 — fixed in 101
• Mozilla Firefox ESR: before 91.10 — fixed in 91.10
• Mozilla Thunderbird: before 91.10 — fixed in 91.10

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Mozilla Firefox 101; Mozilla Firefox ESR 91.10; Mozilla Thunderbird 91.10. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
