- The main vulnerability types are use-after-free, uninitialized memory, privilege escalation, information disclosure, and mitigation bypass.
- The affected products are Firefox, Thunderbird, and some Firefox ESR versions.
- The advisory also includes a bundle of memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 150 and Thunderbird 150.
