Original advisory details:

 Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were
 tricked into opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could
 potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive
 information across domains, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-1547,
 CVE-2024-1548, CVE-2024-1549, CVE-2024-1550, CVE-2024-1553, CVE-2024-1554,
 CVE-2024-1555, CVE-2024-1557)

 Alfred Peters discovered that Firefox did not properly manage memory when
 storing and re-accessing data on a networking channel. An attacker could
 potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service.
 (CVE-2024-1546)

 Johan Carlsson discovered that Firefox incorrectly handled Set-Cookie
 response headers in multipart HTTP responses. An attacker could
 potentially exploit this issue to inject arbitrary cookie values.
 (CVE-2024-1551)

 Gary Kwong discovered that Firefox incorrectly generated codes on 32-bit
 ARM devices, which could lead to unexpected numeric conversions or
 undefined behaviour. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a
 denial of service. (CVE-2024-1552)

 Ronald Crane discovered that Firefox did not properly manage memory when
 accessing the built-in profiler. An attacker could potentially exploit
 this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-1556)");
