* GetBoundName in the JIT returned the wrong object (CVE-2024-3852)
* Out-of-bounds-read after mis-optimized switch statement (CVE-2024-3854)
* Incorrect JITting of arguments led to use-after-free during garbage collection (CVE-2024-3857)
* Permission prompt input delay could expire when not in focus (CVE-2024-2609)
* Integer-overflow led to out-of-bounds-read in the OpenType sanitizer (CVE-2024-3859)
* Potential use-after-free due to AlignedBuffer self-move (CVE-2024-3861)

CVE-2024-2609
The permission prompt input delay could expire while the window is not in focus. This makes it vulnerable to clickjacking by malicious websites. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 124, Firefox ESR < 115.10, and Thunderbird < 115.10.
CVE-2024-3852
GetBoundName could return the wrong version of an object when JIT optimizations were applied. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 125, Firefox ESR < 115.10, and Thunderbird < 115.10.
CVE-2024-3854
In some code patterns the JIT incorrectly optimized switch statements and generated code with out-of-bounds-reads. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 125, Firefox ESR < 115.10, and Thunderbird < 115.10.
CVE-2024-3857
The JIT created incorrect code for arguments in certain cases. This led to potential use-after-free crashes during garbage collection. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 125, Firefox ESR < 115.10, and Thunderbird < 115.10.
CVE-2024-3859
On 32-bit versions there were integer-overflows that led to an out-of-bounds-read that potentially could be triggered by a malformed OpenType font. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 125, Firefox ESR < 115.10, and Thunderbird < 115.10.
CVE-2024-3861
If an AlignedBuffer were assigned to itself, the subsequent self-move could result in an incorrect reference count and later use-after-free. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 125, Firefox ESR < 115.10, and Thunderbird < 115.10.
CVE-2024-3864
Memory safety bug present in Firefox 124, Firefox ESR 115.9, and Thunderbird 115.9. This bug showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort this could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 125 and Firefox ESR < 115.10.
