CVE-2022-31737Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Client crash via WebGL row bounds miscalculation

Published Dec 22, 2022 · Updated Apr 16, 2025

WebGL heap overflow in Mozilla Firefox before 101, Firefox ESR before 91.10, and Thunderbird before 91.10 allows remote attackers to crash the client. In GLContext::raw_fReadPixels, clipping a negative y coordinate resets the destination to row zero without reducing the pixel-row count, so glReadPixels writes past the heap buffer. A victim must load attacker-controlled WebGL content; Thunderbird mail reading disables scripting, limiting exposure there to browser or browser-like contexts.
