Mozilla developers Randell Jesup, Andrew McCreight, Gabriele Svelto, and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 111. 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 for Android < 112, Firefox < 112, and Focus for Android < 112.

Mozilla developers Randell Jesup, Andrew Osmond, Sebastian Hengst, Andrew McCreight, and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 111 and Firefox ESR 102.9. 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 < 112, Focus for Android < 112, Firefox ESR < 102.10, Firefox for Android < 112, and Thunderbird < 102.10.

An attacker could have caused memory corruption and a potentially exploitable use-after-free of a pointer in a global object's debugger vector. This vulnerability affects Firefox for Android < 112, Firefox < 112, and Focus for Android < 112.

By displaying a prompt with a long description, the fullscreen notification could have been hidden, resulting in potential user confusion or spoofing attacks. <br>*This bug only affects Firefox for Android. Other operating systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 111.

A duplicate <code>SystemPrincipal</code> object could be created when parsing a non-system html document via <code>DOMParser::ParseFromSafeString</code>. This could have lead to bypassing web security checks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 109.

A website could have obscured the fullscreen notification by using a combination of <code>window.open</code>, fullscreen requests, <code>window.name</code> assignments, and <code>setInterval</code> calls. This could have led to user confusion and possible spoofing attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 112, Focus for Android < 112, Firefox ESR < 102.10, Firefox for Android < 112, and Thunderbird < 102.10.

Multiple race conditions in the font initialization could have led to memory corruption and execution of attacker-controlled code. This vulnerability affects Firefox for Android < 112, Firefox < 112, and Focus for Android < 112.

Under specific circumstances a WebExtension may have received a <code>jar:file:///</code> URI instead of a <code>moz-extension:///</code> URI during a load request. This leaked directory paths on the user's machine. This vulnerability affects Firefox for Android < 112, Firefox < 112, and Focus for Android < 112.

Android applications with unpatched vulnerabilities can be launched from a browser using Intents, exposing users to these vulnerabilities. Firefox will now confirm with users that they want to launch an external application before doing so. <br>*This bug only affects Firefox for Android. Other versions of Firefox are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 111.
