NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream firefox package and not the firefox package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The garbage collector could have been aborted in several states and zones and <code>GCRuntime::finishCollection</code> may not have been called, leading to a use-after-free and potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5, and Firefox < 107.
