Summary

Multiple memory safety vulnerabilities have been identified in Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird, specifically in versions 133 and earlier. These vulnerabilities can lead to memory corruption, and while exploitation of these bugs is not guaranteed, they possess the potential to allow attackers to execute arbitrary code if successfully manipulated. The affected versions include Firefox and Thunderbird prior to version 134, as well as specific extended support releases (ESR) prior to versions 115.19 and 128.6. Users and administrators are recommended to upgrade to the latest versions to mitigate these risks.
