This Red Hat security advisory addresses a set of 13 vulnerabilities in Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird, including CVE-2025-14327 and multiple CVEs from 2026. The vulnerabilities span several components: spoofing in the Downloads Panel and DOM Copy & Paste/Drag & Drop, use-after-free bugs in the JavaScript garbage collector, IPC, and JavaScript engine, memory safety bugs, sandbox escapes due to incorrect boundary conditions and integer overflow in Graphics and CanvasWebGL components, information disclosure in Networking and PDF Viewer components, mitigation bypass in the DOM Security component, and clickjacking issues.
