CVE-2020-12417:

Due to confusion about ValueTags on JavaScript Objects, an object may pass through the type barrier, resulting in memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash.
Note: this issue only affects Firefox on ARM64 platforms.

CVE-2020-12418:

Manipulating individual parts of a URL object could have caused an out-of-bounds read, leaking process memory to malicious JavaScript.

CVE-2020-12419:

When processing callbacks that occurred during window flushing in the parent process, the associated window may die; causing a use-after-free condition. This could have led to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash.

CVE-2020-12420:

When trying to connect to a STUN server, a race condition could have caused a use-after-free of a pointer, leading to memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash.

CVE-2020-12421:

When performing add-on updates, certificate chains terminating in non-built-in-roots were rejected (even if they were legitimately added by an administrator.) This could have caused add-ons to become out-of-date silently without notification to the user.
