VectorAV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Firefox ESR versions prior to 102.2 Thunderbird versions prior to 102.2
Description A data race could occur in the PK11 ChangePW function, potentially leading to a use-after-free issue. This affects the protection of data when a user changes their master password. The vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
