# CVE-2022-46874: Drag and Dropped Filenames could have been truncated to
malicious extensions
Reporter: Matthias Zoellner

A file with a long filename could have had its filename truncated to remove the

potentially led to user confusion and the execution of malicious code.

on Mac OS
Reporter: Dohyun Lee

# CVE-2022-46878: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 108 and Firefox ESR 102.6
Reporter: Mozilla developers
Impact: high
Description
Mozilla developers Randell Jesup, Valentin Gosu, Olli Pettay, and the Mozilla
Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 107 and Firefox ESR
102.5. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume
that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run
arbitrary code.
