Memory safety bugs present in Firefox ESR 140.0, Thunderbird ESR 140.0, Firefox 140 and Thunderbird 140. 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 < 141, Firefox ESR < 140.1, Thunderbird < 141, and Thunderbird < 140.1.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:02529-1 advisory.

    MozillaFirefox is updated to the 140ESR series.

    Firefox Extended Support Release 140.0esr ESR:

      * General

      - Reader View now has an enhanced Text and Layout menu with         new options for character spacing, word spacing, and text         alignment. These changes offer a more accessible reading         experience.
      - Reader View now has a Theme menu with additional Contrast         and Gray options. You can also select custom colors for text,         background, and links from the Custom tab.
      - Firefox will now offer to temporarily remember when users         grant permissions to sites (e.g. geolocation). Temporary         permissions will be removed either after one hour or when the         tab is closed.
      - Firefox now includes safeguards to prevent sites from         abusing the history API by generating excessive history         entries, which can make navigating with the back and forward         buttons difficult by cluttering the history. This         intervention ensures that such entries, unless interacted         with by the user, are skipped when using the back and forward         buttons.
      - Firefox now identifies all links in PDFs and turns them         into hyperlinks.
      - You can now copy links from background tabs using the         tabstrip context menu on macOS and Linux.
      - Users on macOS and Linux are now given the option to close         only the current tab if the Quit keyboard shortcut is used         while multiple tabs are open in the window. (bmo#None)

      * Sidebar and Tabs

      - You can now enable the updated Firefox sidebar in Settings         > General > Browser Layout to quickly access multiple tools         in one click, without leaving your main view. Sidebar tools         include an AI chatbot of your choice, bookmarks, history, and         tabs from devices you sync with your Mozilla account.
      - Keep a lot of tabs open? Try our new vertical tabs layout         to quickly scan your list of tabs. With vertical tabs, your         open and pinned tabs appear in the sidebar instead of along         the top of the browser. To turn on vertical tabs, right-click         on the toolbar near the top of the browser and select Turn on         Vertical Tabs. If youve enabled the updated sidebar, you can         also go to Customize sidebar and check Vertical tabs. Early         testers report feeling more organized after using vertical         tabs for a few days.
      - Stay productive and organized with less effort by grouping         related tabs together. One simple way to create a group is to         drag a tab onto another, pause until you see a highlight,         then drop to create the group. Tab groups can be named,         color-coded, and are always saved. You can close a group and         reopen it later.
      - A tab preview is now displayed when hovering the mouse over         background tabs, making it easier to locate the desired tab         without needing to switch tabs.
      - The sidebar to view tabs from other devices can now be         opened via the Tab overview menu.

      * Security & Privacy

      - HTTPS is replacing HTTP as the default protocol in the         address bar on non-local sites. If a site is not available         via HTTPS, Firefox will fall back to HTTP.
      - Firefox now blocks third-party cookie access when Enhanced         Tracking Protection's Strict mode is enabled.
      - Firefox now has a new anti-tracking feature, Bounce         Tracking Protection, which is now available in Enhanced         Tracking Protection's 'Strict' mode. This feature detects         bounce trackers based on their redirect behavior and         periodically purges their cookies and site data to block         tracking.
      - Firefox now enforces certificate transparency, requiring         web servers to provide sufficient proof that their         certificates were publicly disclosed before they will be         trusted. This only affects servers using certificates issued         by a certificate authority in Mozilla's Root CA Program.
      - Smartblock Embeds allows users to selectively unblock         certain social media embeds that are blocked in ETP Strict         and Private Browsing modes. Currently, support is limited to         a few embed types, with more to be added in future updates.
      - Firefox now upgrades page loads to HTTPS by default and         gracefully falls back to HTTP if the secure connection fails.
        This behavior is known as HTTPS-First.
      - The 'Copy Without Site Tracking' menu item was renamed to         'Copy Clean Link' to help clarify expectations around what         the feature does. 'Copy Clean Link' is a list based approach         to remove - known tracking parameters from links. This option         can also now be used on plain text links.
      - The Clear browsing data and cookies dialog now allows         clearing saved form info separately from browsing history.

      * Translations

      - Firefox now allows translating selected text portions to         different languages after a full-page translation.
      - Full-Page Translations are now available within Firefox         extension pages that start with the moz-extension:// URL         scheme.
      - When suggesting a default translation language, Firefox         will now take into consideration languages you have         previously used for translations.
      - Added support for many new languages in Firefox         translation.

      * Linux

      - Firefox now supports touchpad hold gestures on Linux. This         means that kinetic (momentum) scrolling can now be         interrupted by placing two fingers on the touchpad.

      * Developer:

      - Firefox now supports text fragments, which         allows users to link directly to a specific portion of text         in a web document via a special URL fragment.
      - Debugger log-point values are now automatically converted         into profiler markers, making it easy to add information to         the marker timeline directly from the Debugger.
      - The Debugger's directory root is now scoped to the specific         domain where it was set, which aligns with typical usage and         avoids applying it across unrelated domains. This builds on         previous improvements such as a redesigned UI and easier         removal of the root setting. Setting a directory root updates         the Source List to show only the selected directory and its         children. (Learn more)
      - The Network Blocking feature in the Network panel now         blocks HTTP requests in addition to blocking responses.
      - The Network panel displays information about Early Hints,         including a dedicated indicator for the 103 HTTP status code         in the user interface.
      - The Network panel now allows overriding network request         responses with local files.
      - The filter setting in the Network panel is now preserved         across DevTools Toolbox sessions.
      - A new column has been added to the Network panel to display         the full path of the request URL. This enhancement makes         helps developers quickly view and analyze complete request         paths.
      - Introduced a new console command `$$$` that allows         searching the page, including within shadow roots.
      - Improved support for debugging web extensions, such as         automatically reloading the web extension's source code in         the Debugger when the extension is reloaded. Workers are now         available in the Console panels context selector and         breakpoints function correctly in content scripts.
      - In the Inspector Fonts panel, we now display fonts         metadata, like the font version, designer, vendor, license,         etc.
      - Added support for the import map integrity field, allowing         you to ensure the integrity of dynamically or statically         imported modules.
      - Implemented support for `Error.isError`, enabling brand         checks to determine whether an object is an instance of         Error. (Learn more)
      - Added support for the `error.captureStackTrace` extension         to improve compatibility with other browsers. (Learn more:
        http://github.com/tc39/proposal-error-capturestacktrace)

      * Enterprise:

      - The UserMessaging policy has been updated with         a new option to allow disabling Firefox Labs in preferences.
      - The Preferences policy has been updated to allow setting         the preference security.pki.certificate_transparency.mode.
      - HTTPS-First is now on by default. You can manage this         behavior using the HttpsOnlyMode and HttpAllowlist policies.
      - An internal change has been made to Firefox that removes         `XPCOMUtils.defineLazyGetter`. For most people, this         shouldn't matter, but if you encounter problems with         AutoConfig or third party software like PolicyPak, this might         be the cause. You'll need to reach out to your provider.
      - Firefox now supports the Content Analysis SDK for         integrating DLP software. For more information, see this         post.
      - The SearchEngines policy is now available on all versions         of Firefox (not just the ESR).

The version of Thunderbird installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 141.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2025-61 advisory.

  - Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 140 and Thunderbird 140. 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. (CVE-2025-8044)

  - On 64-bit platforms IonMonkey-JIT only wrote 32 bits of the 64-bit return value space on the stack.
    Baseline-JIT, however, read the entire 64 bits. (CVE-2025-8027)

  - On arm64, a WASM <code>brtable</code> instruction with a lot of entries could lead to the label being too     far from the instruction causing truncation and incorrect computation of the branch address.
    (CVE-2025-8028)

  - Thunderbird executed <code>javascript:</code> URLs when used in <code>object</code> and <code>embed</code>     tags. (CVE-2025-8029)

  - Thunderbird cached CORS preflight responses across IP address changes. This allowed circumventing CORS     with DNS rebinding. (CVE-2025-8036)
