Amendment

The SLES security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for SLES:15.1.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream MozillaFirefox-buildsymbols package and not the MozillaFirefox-buildsymbols package as distributed by SLES.

Due to a missing case handling object types, a type confusion vulnerability could occur, resulting in a crash. We presume that with enough effort that it could be exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 68.4 and Firefox < 72.
