CVE-2023-5172
CVSS v2.0
10
Critical
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Firefox versions prior to 118
Description
The issue is related to a potential use-after-free in the Ion Engine, where a hashtable could have been mutated while there was a live interior reference, leading to an exploitable crash. This could allow a remote attacker to access confidential data, compromise its integrity, and cause a denial of service.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 118, update to version 118 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the Ion Engine until a patch is available.
Fix
Use After Free
