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:3.21 relevant fixed versions and status.

A use-after-free condition existed in NotifyOnHistoryReload where a LoadingSessionHistoryEntry object was freed and a reference to that object remained. This resulted in a potentially exploitable condition when the reference to that object was later reused. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 115.
