NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream firefox package and not the firefox package as distributed by Debian.

A compromised content process could have provided malicious data to FilterNodeD2D1 resulting in an out-of-bounds write, leading to a potentially exploitable crash in a privileged process. This bug only affects Firefox on Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 118, Firefox ESR < 115.3, and Thunderbird < 115.3.
