NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream firefox-esr package and not the firefox-esr package as distributed by Alpine.
See How to fix? for Alpine:3.20 relevant fixed versions and status.
Mozilla developers and community members reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 64 and Firefox ESR 60.4. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 60.5, Firefox ESR < 60.5, and Firefox < 65.
