Description
A security issue was found in Firefox before 84.0.2, Thunderbird before 78.6.1 and Chromium before 88.0.4324.96. A malicious peer could have modified a COOKIE-ECHO chunk in an SCTP packet in a way that potentially resulted in a use-after-free. Mozilla presumes that with enough effort it could have been exploited to run arbitrary code.
