Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Firefox versions prior to 65
Description
The issue is related to a buffer overflow in memory, which can be exploited by a remote attacker using a specially crafted web page. This could potentially allow the execution of arbitrary code or cause a denial of service. The estimated number of potentially affected devices worldwide is not specified. There is evidence of memory corruption, and it is presumed that some of these bugs could be exploited with enough effort.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 65, update to version 65 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to potentially vulnerable web pages until the update is applied.
