Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 141 and Thunderbird 141. 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 < 142 and Thunderbird < 142.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:3804-1 advisory.

    - Move NSS DB password hash away from SHA-1

    Update to NSS 3.112.2:

      * Prevent leaks during pkcs12 decoding.
      * SEC_ASN1Decode* should ensure it has read as many bytes as each length field indicates

    Update to NSS 3.112.1:

      * restore support for finding certificates by decoded serial number.
