CVE-2026-4694
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedIncorrect boundary conditions, integer overflow in the Graphics component. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 149, Firefox ESR 115.34, Firefox ESR 140.9, Thunderbird 149, and Thunderbird 140.9.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceInteger overflow due to incorrect boundary conditions in the Graphics component of Firefox and Thunderbird. This could allow an attacker to trigger heap-based memory corruption via crafted graphics operations, potentially leading to code execution or denial of service.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed Firefox versionIn Firefox, go to Menu > Help > About Firefox, or enter 'about:support' in the address bar. The version is displayed at the top.Affected if The installed version is earlier than 115.34.0, OR falls between 128.0 and 140.8.x inclusive, OR is earlier than 149.0 (all versions below 149.0 are affected)
-
Identify installed Thunderbird versionIn Thunderbird, go to Menu > Help > About Thunderbird. The version number is shown in the window that opens.Affected if The installed version is earlier than 140.9.0 OR earlier than 149.0 (all versions below 149.0 are affected)
-
Confirm graphics rendering is enabledThis vulnerability exists in the Graphics component handling graphical operations. No special configuration needs to be checked; the vulnerability triggers during normal graphics processing in affected versions.Affected if Any use of the browser orThunderbird with graphical content rendering (this includes normal web browsing and email viewing)
-
Check for multiple affected Mozilla installationsOn systems with multiple Firefox installations (such as Firefox and Firefox ESR), verify the version of each installation separately using 'about:support' or checking the application file properties.Affected if Any Firefox ESR or Thunderbird installation matches the affected version ranges
You are affected if you run any version of Firefox below 115.34.0, below 140.9.0, or below 149.0 (or any version of Thunderbird below 140.9.0 or 149.0), as all these versions contain the vulnerable graphics component code.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

dbcve · scoped115.34.0140.9.0149.0
Update Mozilla products to the fixed versions: Firefox 149 (or ESR 115.34/140.9), Thunderbird 149 (or 140.9). Prioritize affected systems based on exposure to untrusted content.
Firefox 149 (stable), Firefox ESR 115.34, Firefox ESR 140.9; Thunderbird 149 or 140.9
- Check current Firefox or Thunderbird version by navigating to Menu > Help > About (or typing 'about:support' in the address bar)
- If using Firefox stable: upgrade to version 149 or later

ContributedPeer-ranked notes from engineers who’ve handled CVE-2026-4694 in production — separate from our analysis above.
The advisory tells you what broke. It rarely tells you what actually worked. If you’ve dealt with this one, that detail is what the next engineer is searching for.
- The version that genuinely resolved it — not the one the vendor claimed
- A config change or rule that shut the vector down
- A gotcha in the upgrade path that cost you an afternoon
