#CVE-2023-29532: Mozilla Maintenance Service Write-lock bypass
- Reporter
- Holger Fuhrmannek
- Impact
- high
Description
A local attacker can trick the Mozilla Maintenance Service into applying an unsigned update file by pointing the service at an update file on a malicious SMB server. The update file can be replaced after the signature check, before the use, because the write-lock requested by the service does not work on a SMB server.
Note: This attack requires local system access and only affects Windows. Other operating systems are not affected.

#CVE-2023-29550: Memory safety bugs fixed in Thunderbird 102.10
- Reporter
- Mozilla developers and community
- Impact
- high
Description
Mozilla developers Andrew Osmond, Sebastian Hengst, Andrew McCreight, and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Thunderbird 102.9. 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.
