Mozilla · Firefox · CVE-2023-5731
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Firefox versions prior to 119
**Description**
The issue is related to memory safety bugs in Firefox, which can lead to memory corruption. With sufficient effort, these bugs could potentially be exploited to run arbitrary code. The vulnerability is also described as a buffer overflow issue when processing HTML content, which could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 119, update to version 119 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of HTML content processing in Firefox until a patch is available.
