CVE-2022-34484Network attack vector

Code execution via undisclosed memory corruption

Published Dec 22, 2022 · Updated Apr 15, 2025

Memory corruption in Mozilla Firefox before 102, Firefox ESR before 91.11, and Thunderbird before 91.11 or 102 allows remote attackers to run code. Mozilla reports JavaScript-prototype or memory corruption across grouped fuzzing findings but has not disclosed the affected routines or invalid operations. Exploitation requires user interaction with attacker-controlled browser-like content; scripting disabled during ordinary Thunderbird mail reading blocks that path.
