Description Doran Moppert 2017-08-08 06:37:03 UTC 
Mozilla developers and community members Gary Kwong, Christian Holler, André Bargull, Bob Clary, Carsten Book, Emilio Cobos Álvarez, Masayuki Nakano, Sebastian Hengst, Franziskus Kiefer, Tyson Smith, and Ronald Crane reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 54. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code.
