Mozilla Firefox ESR Security Advisories (MFSA2021-23, MFSA2021-25) - Windows. This host is missing a security update according to Mozilla advisory. Multiple flaws are due to an out of bounds-read when parsing a 'WM_COPYDATA' message and memory safety bug in Firefox ESR. Successful exploitation will allow attackers to run arbitrary code on victim's system. Mozilla Firefox ESR version before 78.11 on Windows
