- Reporter
- sonakkbi
- Impact
- high
Description
In canvas rendering, a compromised content process could have caused a surface to change unexpectedly, leading to a memory leak of a privileged process. This memory leak could be used to effect a sandbox escape if the correct data was leaked.

#CVE-2023-5171: Use-after-free in Ion Compiler
- Reporter
- Lukas Bernhard
- Impact
- high
Description
During Ion compilation, a Garbage Collection could have resulted in a use-after-free condition, allowing an attacker to write two NUL bytes, and cause a potentially exploitable crash.

#CVE-2023-5173: Out-of-bounds write in HTTP Alternate Services
- Reporter
- Ronald Crane
- Impact
- moderate
Description
In a non-standard configuration of Firefox, an integer overflow could have occurred based on network traffic (possibly under influence of a local unprivileged webpage), leading to an out-of-bounds write to privileged process memory.
This bug only affects Firefox if a non-standard preference allowing non-HTTPS Alternate Services (network.http.altsvc.oe) is enabled.

#CVE-2023-5174: Double-free in process spawning on Windows
- Reporter
- Ronald Crane
- Impact
- moderate
Description
If Windows failed to duplicate a handle during process creation, the sandbox code may have inadvertently freed a pointer twice, resulting in a use-after-free and a potentially exploitable crash.
This bug only affects Firefox on Windows when run in non-standard configurations (such as using runas). Other operating systems are unaffected.

#CVE-2023-5176: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 118, Firefox ESR 115.3, and Thunderbird 115.3
- Reporter
- Chris Peterson, Andrew McCreight, André Bargull, Nika Layzell and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team
- Impact
- high
Description
Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 117, Firefox ESR 115.2, and Thunderbird 115.2. 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.
