NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream firefox-x11 package and not the firefox-x11 package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

When checking if the Browsing Context had been discarded in HttpBaseChannel, if the load group was not available then it was assumed to have already been discarded which was not always the case for private channels after the private session had ended. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 117, Firefox ESR < 115.2, and Thunderbird < 115.2.
