DescriptionNVD

Incorrect boundary conditions in the Audio/Video: Playback component. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 149, Firefox ESR < 115.34, and Firefox ESR < 140.9.

AnalysisAI

An incorrect boundary condition vulnerability exists in the Audio/Video playback component of Mozilla Firefox, affecting Firefox versions below 149, Firefox ESR below 115.34, and Firefox ESR below 140.9. This flaw enables information disclosure through improper memory boundary handling during media playback operations. While specific exploit details and CVSS metrics are not publicly disclosed, the vulnerability is categorized as an information disclosure issue affecting all three Firefox release channels.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability resides in Firefox's Audio/Video playback subsystem, which handles decoding and rendering of multimedia content. Incorrect boundary condition checks in this component allow attackers to read beyond allocated memory regions during media processing. The affected products are Mozilla Firefox (all versions, as per CPE cpe:2.3:a:mozilla:firefox:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) and Firefox ESR across two maintenance branches (cpe:2.3:a:mozilla:firefox_esr:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). While a specific CWE identifier was not provided in the intelligence data, boundary condition errors typically map to CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer) or CWE-125 (Out-of-bounds Read), both critical memory safety classes. The root cause involves inadequate validation of buffer boundaries during audio/video frame parsing or rendering operations.

RemediationAI

Immediately upgrade Mozilla Firefox to version 149 or later via the browser's built-in update mechanism (Help > About Firefox on most platforms). For Firefox ESR deployments, upgrade to either version 115.34 or version 140.9 or later depending on which ESR branch your organization maintains. Consult https://www.mozilla.org/security/advisories/mfsa2026-20/, mfsa2026-21/, and mfsa2026-22/ for detailed patch notes and compatibility information. For environments unable to patch immediately, restrict user access to untrusted media sources and disable auto-play of media content via browser policies (enterprise.json configuration on Windows or distribution/policies.json on Linux/macOS). Implement network-level monitoring for suspicious media file access patterns as a temporary compensating control.
