tricked into opening a specially crafted website in a browsing context, an
attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service,
obtain sensitive information, bypass security restrictions, cross-site
tracing, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-2609, CVE-2024-3852,
CVE-2024-3864)

Bartek Nowotarski discovered that Thunderbird did not properly limit HTTP/2
CONTINUATION frames. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to

during JIT optimisations, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability.
An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or
expose sensitive information. (CVE-2024-3854)
