Arbitrary code execution via memory corruption
Published Mar 25, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Memory safety defects in Mozilla Firefox before 74 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors. The grouped advisory reports memory corruption and privilege escalation but does not disclose a single affected function or the incorrect operation on attacker-controlled input. The published assessment requires neither authentication nor user interaction; successful exploitation is bounded to arbitrary code execution or privilege escalation.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
