Firefox ESR and 1 other: The developer page about:memory has a Measure function for exploring what object types the browser has…
CVE-2021-23975 is fixed in 4 products on 2 platforms, first by firefox 86.0+build3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1, released February 26, 2021. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
The developer page about:memory has a Measure function for exploring what object types the browser has allocated and their sizes. When this function was invoked we incorrectly called the sizeof function, instead of using the API method that checks for invalid pointers. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 86.
