Incorrect stack traces via stale bailout data
Published Jul 9, 2024 · Updated Oct 30, 2025
Improper frame iteration in Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird before 128 allows remote attackers to generate incorrect stack traces via Wasm. SavedStacks continues using bailout data after Wasm frame iteration, so direct Ion-to-Wasm calls appear as generic exit frames and can trap the iterator in a loop. A user must process attacker-controlled Wasm in a browser or browser-like context; ordinary Thunderbird email reading disables scripting.

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.
