A potential use-after-free in libaudio was fixed by disabling the AAudio backend when running on Android API below version 30. *This bug only affects Firefox for Android. Other versions of Firefox are unaffected.* This vulnerability affects Firefox for Android < 110.1.0.
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
