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 Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

During process shutdown, it was possible that an ImageBitmap was created that would later be used after being freed from a different codepath, leading to a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 118.
