Description

Mozilla developers Gabriele Svelto, Timothy Nikkel, Randell Jesup, Jon Coppeard, and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 100. 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 < 101.

Affected products

Mozilla Firefox: before 101 — fixed in 101

How to fix

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