Mozilla · Firefox · CVE-2023-5175
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Firefox versions prior to 118
**Description**
The issue is related to the use of memory after it has been freed, which can lead to a potentially exploitable crash. This can allow a remote attacker to access confidential data, compromise its integrity, and cause a denial of service. The vulnerability is associated with the creation of an `ImageBitmap` during process shutdown, which can later be used after being freed from a different code path.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 118, update to Firefox version 118 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of `ImageBitmap` until a patch is available.
