Description Siddharth Sharma 2016-04-25 18:44:07 UTC

Mozilla developers fixed several memory safety bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances, and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code.

Christian Holler, Tyson Smith, and Phil Ringalda reported memory safety problems and crashes that are fixed in Firefox ESR 45.1, Firefox ESR 38.8 and Firefox 46.
