    A flaw was found in Mozilla. The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes the issue of Mozilla     developers and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reporting memory safety bugs in Firefox 102. 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-2022-2505)

    A flaw was found in Mozilla. The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes the issue of when visiting     directory listings for `chrome://` URLs as source text, some parameters were reflected. (CVE-2022-36318)

    A flaw was found in Mozilla. The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes the issue of an attacker     abusing XSLT error handling to associate attacker-controlled content with another origin, which was     displayed in the address bar. This issue could be used to fool the user into submitting data intended for     the spoofed origin. (CVE-2022-38472)

    A flaw was found in Mozilla. The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes the issue of a cross-     origin iframe referencing an XSLT document inheriting the parent domain's permissions (such as microphone     or camera access). (CVE-2022-38473)

    A flaw was found in Mozilla. The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes the issue of a data race     that could occur in the `PK11_ChangePW` function, potentially leading to a use-after-free vulnerability.
