Mozilla Firefox ESR and 3 others: Out-of-bounds Write
CVE-2021-4129 is fixed in 10 products on 2 platforms, first by Mozilla Thunderbird (en-US) 91.4.0, released December 3, 2021. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
Mozilla developers and community members Julian Hector, Randell Jesup, Gabriele Svelto, Tyson Smith, Christian Holler, and Masayuki Nakano reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 94. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 95, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0, and Thunderbird < 91.4.0.
