Vulnerabilities description

  • CVE-2024-5688

    If a garbage collection was triggered at the right time, a use-after-free could have occurred during object transplant. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 127, Firefox ESR < 115.12, and Thunderbird < 115.12.

  • CVE-2024-5690

    By monitoring the time certain operations take, an attacker could have guessed which external protocol handlers were functional on a user's system. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 127, Firefox ESR < 115.12, and Thunderbird < 115.12.

  • CVE-2024-5691

    By tricking the browser with a `X-Frame-Options` header, a sandboxed iframe could have presented a button that, if clicked by a user, would bypass restrictions to open a new window. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 127, Firefox ESR < 115.12, and Thunderbird < 115.12.

  • CVE-2024-5693

    Offscreen Canvas did not properly track cross-origin tainting, which could be used to access image data from another site in violation of same-origin policy. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 127, Firefox ESR < 115.12, and Thunderbird < 115.12.

  • CVE-2024-5696

    By manipulating the text in an `&lt;input&gt;` tag, an attacker could have caused corrupt memory leading to a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 127, Firefox ESR < 115.12, and Thunderbird < 115.12.

  • CVE-2024-5700

    Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 126, Firefox ESR 115.11, and Thunderbird 115.11. 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.
