Original advisory details:

 Manfred Paul discovered that Firefox did not properly perform bounds
 checking during range analysis, leading to an out-of-bounds write
 vulnerability. A attacker could use this to cause a denial of service,
 or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-29943)

 Manfred Paul discovered that Firefox incorrectly handled MessageManager
 listeners under certain circumstances. An attacker who was able to inject
 an event handler into a privileged object may have been able to execute
 arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-29944)");
