CVE-2021-23997

Estado: ModificadaAlta (8.8)—

Debido a conversiones inesperadas de tipos de datos, podría haberse producido un uso de memoria previamente liberada al interactuar con la caché de fuentes. Presumimos que con suficiente esfuerzo esto podría haber sido explotado para ejecutar código arbitrario. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a Firefox versiones anteriores a 88
