(CVE-2024-2610) Ronald Crane discovered a use-after-free in Firefox when handling code in SafeRefPtr. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-2612) Max Inden discovered that Firefox incorrectly handled QUIC ACK frame decoding. A attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-2613)
