Thanks for this report.
I've not been overly concerned about this, because during my 10 years of
maintaining the IceCat package in GNU Guix, I've noticed that it is rare
for Firefox ESR security updates to affect only GNU/Linux systems.
Moreover, I expect that security flaws in the GNU/Linux-specific code of
ESR 115 most likely also exist in ESR 128, and if such a flaw were
discovered, it would be publicized by Mozilla in connection with ESR
128. As of now, that has not happened.
I've been more concerned about the possibility of malicious
functionality that might have been added in the upstream ESR 128 branch
relative to ESR 115.
That said, I acknowledge that this is not a satisfactory situation,
especially given that the published list of bug fixes in 115.18.0esr
(mfsa2024-65) is unexpectedly short compared to the fixes in 128.5.0esr
(mfsa2024-64).
I will start working on the IceCat 128 branch in the next few days.
Best regards,
Mark
