CVE-2023-6205: Invalid Bug ID

It was possible to cause the use of a MessagePort after it had already been freed, which could potentially have led to an exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 120, Firefox < 115.5, and Thunderbird < 115.5.0.

CVE-2023-6209: Invalid Bug ID

Relative URLs starting with three slashes were incorrectly parsed, and a path-traversal "/../" part in the path could be used to override the specified host.

CVE-2023-6208: Invalid Bug ID

When using X11, text selected by the page using the Selection API was erroneously copied into the primary selection, a temporary storage not unlike the clipboard. *This bug only affects Thunderbird on X11. Other systems are unaffected.* This vulnerability affects Firefox < 120, Firefox < 115.5, and Thunderbird < 115.5.0.

CVE-2023-6206: Invalid Bug ID

The black fade animation when exiting fullscreen is roughly the length of the anti-clickjacking delay on permission prompts.

CVE-2023-6212: Bug List

Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 119, Firefox 115.4, and Thunderbird 115.4. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 120, Firefox < 115.5, and Thunderbird < 115.5.0.

CVE-2023-6207: Invalid Bug ID

Ownership mismanagement led to a use-after-free in ReadableByteStreams This vulnerability affects Firefox < 120, Firefox < 115.5, and Thunderbird < 115.5.0.
