attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service,
obtain sensitive information, bypass security restrictions, cross-site
tracing, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-7521, CVE-2024-7526,
CVE-2024-7527, CVE-2024-7529, CVE-2024-8382)

operations when processing graphics shared memory. An attacker could
potentially exploit this issue to escape the sandbox. (CVE-2024-7519)

attribute value in the editor component, leading to an out-of-bounds read
vulnerability. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial
of service or expose sensitive information. (CVE-2024-7522)
Rob Wu discovered that Thunderbird did not properly check permissions when
creating a StreamFilter. An attacker could possibly use this issue to
modify response body of requests on any site using a web extension.
(CVE-2024-7525)
Nils Bars discovered that Thunderbird contained a type confusion
vulnerability when performing certain property name lookups. An attacker
could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service, or
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-8381)
