Sandbox escape via unchecked graphics shared-memory access
Published Aug 6, 2024 · Updated Aug 7, 2024
Out-of-bounds memory access in Mozilla Firefox, Firefox ESR, and Thunderbird allows remote attackers to escape the content sandbox. Graphics shared-memory handling performs insufficient bounds checks before memory access, allowing memory corruption. Successful exploitation requires user interaction with attacker-controlled content and breaks process isolation, enabling follow-on access outside the sandbox.
