When resolving a symlink, a race may occur where the buffer passed to readlink may actually be smaller than necessary. This bug only affects Firefox on Unix-based operating systems (Android, Linux, MacOS). Windows is unaffected. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 115.6, Thunderbird < 115.6, and Firefox < 121.
