CVE-2025-1933: 
NixOS vulnerability analysis and mitigation

CVE-2025-1933 is a high-impact vulnerability discovered in Mozilla's JavaScript Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler affecting the handling of WebAssembly (WASM) i32 return values on 64-bit CPUs. The vulnerability was disclosed on March 4, 2025, and affects multiple Mozilla products including Firefox < 136, Firefox ESR < 115.21, Firefox ESR < 128.8, Thunderbird < 136, and Thunderbird < 128.8 (Mozilla Advisory).

The vulnerability occurs when the JIT compiler processes WASM i32 return values on 64-bit CPU architectures. The technical issue involves leftover memory bits being picked up during compilation, which can potentially cause these values to be treated as a different type than intended. This type confusion vulnerability was discovered by Xiangwei Zhang and kkdong of Tencent Security YUNDING LAB (Mozilla Advisory).

The vulnerability has been classified as high impact. When exploited, it could lead to type confusion issues where values are interpreted incorrectly, potentially resulting in memory corruption. This could potentially be leveraged for arbitrary code execution in affected applications (Mozilla Advisory).

Mozilla has addressed this vulnerability in Firefox 136, Firefox ESR 115.21, Firefox ESR 128.8, Thunderbird 136, and Thunderbird 128.8. Users are strongly advised to update to these latest versions to mitigate the security risk (Mozilla Advisory, Ubuntu Security).
