CVE-2026-6778Network attack vector

Service interruption via undisclosed invalid pointer

Published Apr 21, 2026 · Updated Apr 21, 2026

Invalid pointer access in Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird before 150 allows remote attackers to interrupt service via unspecified network input. Mozilla identifies the Audio/Video: Playback component but has not disclosed the pointer locus, the triggering input, or the erroneous operation. Network access requires no authentication; Thunderbird exposure is generally limited to browser or browser-like contexts because scripting is disabled while reading email.
