How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:20.04 firefox to version 88.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.20.04.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream firefox package and not the firefox package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:20.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

When Web Render components were destructed, a race condition could have caused undefined behavior, and we presume that with enough effort may have been exploitable to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 88.0.1 and Firefox for Android < 88.1.3.
