    Firefox ESR 153.5. (CVE-2026-109778)

  - Sandbox escape due to use-after-free in the Networking component. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox
    158 and Firefox ESR 153.5. (CVE-2026-109707)

  - A malicious, compromised, or MITM-controlled Exchange server can return a single well-formed SOAP response
    containing an element with enough attributes to keep Thunderbird's main thread CPU-bound for seconds to
    hours. (CVE-2026-110249)

  - Privilege escalation in the Application Update component. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 158 and
    Firefox ESR 153.5. (CVE-2026-109704)

  - Sandbox escape, site isolation issue due to incorrect boundary conditions, use-after-free in the
    Networking component. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 158 and Firefox ESR 153.5. (CVE-2026-109705)
