Pale Moon Version 34.3.2 Released with Security Updates

  Pale Moon has been updated to version 34.3.2.  This is a security and bugfix update.

Changes/Fixes:

• Implemented the URL.Parse() convenience function.
• Added multiple bounds checks on internal browser functions to avoid potential out-of-bounds accesses, underflows and overflows. (DiD)
• Fixed several issues with loading and parsing content-supplied fonts.
• Set a bottom limit on the frequency for audio samples to avoid a whole class of potential bugs surrounding audio loading, processing and playback.
  Audio formats with a sample rate below 8kHz (the commonly accepted lowest sample rate of "telephone"/"walkie-talkie" quality) are now rejected.
• Fixed a potential issue in CSS rounded corners with dotted styling.
• Image elements in forms are no longer associated if they are not in the same subtree.
• Made image animation checks more strict to avoid potential issues if decoding would be slow.
• Video region checks are now more strict to avoid issues with malformed video files.
• Updated NSS to 3.90.13.0 (UXP) addressing all applicable security issues from NSS upstream.
  
• Another large security audit of over 200 sec bugs in Mozilla land has been performed, with the vast majority not being applicable to our code base (primarily e10s/IPC bugs).
  
• Security issues addressed: CVE-2026-16353, CVE-2026-16408, CVE-2026-16389 and many others that do not have a CVE designation.

Notes:

*DiD: This means that a fix is "Defense-in-Depth": It is a fix that does not apply to a (potentially) actively exploitable vulnerability in Pale Moon, but prevents future vulnerabilities caused by the same code, e.g. when surrounding code changes, exposing the problem, or when new attack vectors are discovered.
