"The version of Firefox installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 151.0. It is, therefore, affected by

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox ESR 115.35, Firefox ESR 140.10 and Firefox 150. 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. (CVE-2026-8975)

  - Integer overflow in the Networking: JAR component. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 151, Firefox
    ESR 140.11, Thunderbird 151, and Thunderbird 140.11. (CVE-2026-8956)

  - Sandbox escape in Firefox and Firefox Focus for Android. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 151.
    (CVE-2026-8945)

  - Incorrect boundary conditions in the Audio/Video: Web Codecs component. This vulnerability was fixed in
    Firefox 151, Firefox ESR 115.36, Firefox ESR 140.11, Thunderbird 151, and Thunderbird 140.11.
    (CVE-2026-8946)

  - Use-after-free in the DOM: Bindings (WebIDL) component. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 151,
    Firefox ESR 115.36, Firefox ESR 140.11, Thunderbird 151, and Thunderbird 140.11. (CVE-2026-8947)
