Red Hat has issued security updates for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 variants to address these vulnerabilities.

Potential Impact

Mitigation Recommendations

Red Hat has released updated Firefox packages (version 140.6.0-2.el8_8) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 and related variants that fix these vulnerabilities.
