High

VectorAV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Firefox versions prior to 128 Thunderbird versions prior to 128
Description The issue is related to the allocation of memory in the NSS library used by Firefox and Thunderbird, potentially allowing an attacker to access confidential data, compromise its integrity, and cause a denial of service. When the system is almost out of memory, an elliptic curve key that was never allocated could have been freed again.
