CVE-2020-6805: Use-after-free when removing data about origins When removing data about an origin whose tab was recently closed, a use-after-free could occur in the Quota manager, resulting in a potentially exploitable crash. CVE-2020-6806: BodyStream::OnInputStreamReady was missing protections against state confusion By carefully crafting promise resolutions, it was possible to cause an out-of-bounds read off the end of an array resized during script execution. This could have led to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. CVE-2020-6807: Use-after-free in cubeb during stream destruction When a device was changed while a stream was about to be destroyed, the stream-reinit task may have been executed after the stream was destroyed, causing a use-after-free and a potentially exploitable crash.

Previously, this document's URL (as reported by the document.location property, for example) was the originating javascript: URL which could lead to spoofing attacks, it is now correctly the URL of the originating document. CVE-2020-6809: Web Extensions with the all-urls permission could access local files When a Web Extension had the all-urls permission and made a fetch request with a mode set to 'same-origin', it was possible for the Web Extension to read local files.

CVE-2019-20503: Out of bounds reads in sctp_load_addresses_from_init The inputs to sctp_load_addresses_from_init are verified by sctp_arethere_unrecognized_parameters, however, the two functions handled parameter bounds differently, resulting in out of bounds reads when parameters are partially outside a chunk.
