Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.64%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Freeing arbitrary <code>nsIInputStream</code>'s on a different thread than creation could have led to a use-after-free and potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 102.5, Thunderbird < 102.5, and Firefox < 107.
