Trivy's own label is CRITICAL. Rated critical by NVD, Amazon. Rated lower by Red Hat (high), Oracle (high), Ubuntu (medium).
Description
A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when the SMIL animation controller incorrectly registers with the refresh driver twice when only a single registration is expected. When a registration is later freed with the removal of the animation controller element, the refresh driver incorrectly leaves a dangling pointer to the driver's observer array. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 60.6, Firefox ESR < 60.6, and Firefox < 66.
