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 Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 108 and Firefox ESR 102.6. 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 < 109, Thunderbird < 102.7, and Firefox ESR < 102.7.
