Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox ESR 115.27, Firefox ESR 128.14, Thunderbird ESR 128.14, Firefox ESR 140.2, Thunderbird ESR 140.2, Firefox 142 and Thunderbir
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 32/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.50% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
- Fixed version: firefox (AlmaLinux:10) 128.14.0-2.el10_0; thunderbird (AlmaLinux:10) 128.14.0-3.el10_0.alma.1; firefox (AlmaLinux:8) 128.14.0-2.el8_10.alma.1.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to firefox (AlmaLinux:10) 128.14.0-2.el10_0; thunderbird (AlmaLinux:10) 128.14.0-3.el10_0.alma.1; firefox (AlmaLinux:8) 128.14.0-2.el8_10.alma.1 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Memory safety bugs present in Firefox ESR 115.26, Firefox ESR 128.13, Thunderbird ESR 128.13, Firefox ESR 140.1, Thunderbird ESR 140.1, Firefox 141 and Thunderbird 141. 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. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 142, Firefox ESR 115.27, Firefox ESR 128.14, Firefox ESR 140.2, Thunderbird 142, Thunderbird 128.14, and Thunderbird 140.2.
