  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox ESR 140.7, Thunderbird ESR 140.7, Firefox 147 and Thunderbird 147.
    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 was fixed in Firefox 148,
    Firefox ESR 140.8, Thunderbird 148, and Thunderbird 140.8. (CVE-2026-2792)
