This vulnerability affects Firefox < 113, Firefox ESR < 102.11, and Thunderbird < 102.11.
    (CVE-2023-32215)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 112. 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 < 113. (CVE-2023-32216)

  - The error page for sites with invalid TLS certificates was missing the activation-delay Firefox uses to     protect prompts and permission dialogs from attacks that exploit human response time delays. If a     malicious page elicited user clicks in precise locations immediately before navigating to a site with a     certificate error and made the renderer extremely busy at the same time, it could create a gap between     when the error page was loaded and when the display actually refreshed. With the right timing the elicited     clicks could land in that gap and activate the button that overrides the certificate error for that site.
    This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.12, Firefox < 114, and Thunderbird < 102.12. (CVE-2023-34414)

  - When choosing a site-isolated process for a document loaded from a data: URL that was the result of a     redirect, Firefox would load that document in the same process as the site that issued the redirect. This     bypassed the site-isolation protections against Spectre-like attacks on sites that host an open     redirect. Firefox no longer follows HTTP redirects to data: URLs. This vulnerability affects Firefox <     114. (CVE-2023-34415)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 113, Firefox ESR 102.11, and Thunderbird 102.12.

This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.12, Firefox < 114, and     Thunderbird < 102.12. (CVE-2023-34416)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 113. 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 < 114. (CVE-2023-34417)

  - Insufficient validation in the Drag and Drop API in conjunction with social engineering, may have allowed     an attacker to trick end-users into creating a shortcut to local system files. This could have been     leveraged to execute arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 115. (CVE-2023-37203)

  - A website could have obscured the fullscreen notification by using an option element by introducing lag     via an expensive computational function. This could have led to user confusion and possible spoofing     attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 115. (CVE-2023-37204)

  - The use of RTL Arabic characters in the address bar may have allowed for URL spoofing. This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 115. (CVE-2023-37205)

  - Uploading files which contain symlinks may have allowed an attacker to trick a user into submitting     sensitive data to a malicious website. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 115. (CVE-2023-37206)

  - A use-after-free condition existed in `NotifyOnHistoryReload` where a `LoadingSessionHistoryEntry` object     was freed and a reference to that object remained. This resulted in a potentially exploitable condition     when the reference to that object was later reused. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 115.
    (CVE-2023-37209)

  - A website could prevent a user from exiting full-screen mode via alert and prompt calls. This could lead     to user confusion and possible spoofing attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 115.
    (CVE-2023-37210)

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 114. 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 < 115. (CVE-2023-37212)
