CVE-2023-4578 (GCVE-0-2023-4578)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-09-11 08:01 – Updated: 2024-09-19 20:02
VLAI?
Summary
When calling `JS::CheckRegExpSyntax` a Syntax Error could have been set which would end in calling `convertToRuntimeErrorAndClear`. A path in the function could attempt to allocate memory when none is available which would have caused a newly created Out of Memory exception to be mishandled as a Syntax Error. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 117, Firefox ESR < 115.2, and Thunderbird < 115.2.
Severity ?
No CVSS data available.
