CVE-2021-38493: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 92, Firefox ESR 78.14 and Firefox ESR 91.1
Mozilla developers Gabriele Svelto and Tyson Smith reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 91 and Firefox ESR 78.13. 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-2021-38494: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 92
Mozilla developers Christian Holler and Lars T Hansen reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 91. 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.");
