Security Fix(es):

  * A privacy flaw was discovered in Firefox. In Private Browsing mode, a web
worker could write persistent data to IndexedDB, which was not cleared when
exiting and would persist across multiple sessions. A malicious website
could exploit the flaw to bypass private-browsing protections and uniquely
fingerprint visitors. (CVE-2017-7843)

Red Hat would like to thank the Mozilla project for reporting this issue.
Upstream acknowledges Konark as the original reporter.");
