firefox is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into visiting a malicious website or opening a malicious file. The website or file would contain a specially crafted exploit that would cause Firefox to crash, triggering the memory corruption bug. The attacker could then use the memory corruption bug to execute arbitrary code on the user’s system.
