Unspecified impact via unsafe hash-entry relocation
Published May 14, 2024 · Updated Mar 28, 2025
Undefined behavior in Mozilla Firefox before 126 allows attackers to cause unspecified impact via unspecified vectors. ShmemCharMapHashEntry declares itself movable by memmove even though its Pointer member contains std::atomic storage that is not guaranteed to be trivially copyable, bypassing required move operations. Mozilla has not published a trigger or demonstrated consequence, and its engineers reported that supported compilers made practical exploitation unlikely.

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.
