CVE-2025-1017: Vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox
Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 134, Thunderbird 134, Firefox ESR 128.6, and Thunderbird 128.6. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 135, Firefox ESR 128.7, Thunderbird 128.7, and Thunderbird 135.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves multiple memory safety bugs in Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird versions prior to Firefox 135 and Thunderbird 135, including ESR versions 128.6 and 128.7.
