Description

Mozilla developers and community members Lukas Bernhard, Gabriele Svelto, Randell Jesup, and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 107. 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 < 108.

Affected products

Mozilla Firefox: before 108.0 — fixed in 108.0

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Mozilla Firefox 108.0. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
