**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Firefox versions prior to 69
Firefox ESR versions prior to 60.9 and prior to 68.1
Thunderbird versions prior to 60.9 and prior to 68.1
**Description**
The issue is related to a buffer overflow, where an operation exceeds the boundaries of a memory buffer. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to access confidential data, compromise data integrity, and cause a denial of service. The vulnerability is due to memory safety bugs, some of which have shown evidence of memory corruption. It is presumed that these bugs could be exploited to run arbitrary code with sufficient effort.
