- Mozilla developers and community members Gabriele Svelto, Andrew Osmond, Emily McDonough, Sebastian
Hengst, Andrew McCreight and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 112
and Firefox ESR 102.10. 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 < 113, Firefox ESR < 102.11, and Thunderbird < 102.11. (CVE-2023-32215)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
