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 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.Fix
Use After Free
