Original advisory details:

 Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were
 tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could
 potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via application
 crash, bypass same-origin restrictions, conduct cross-site scripting (XSS)
 attacks, install lightweight themes without user interaction, spoof the
 filename in the downloads panel, or execute arbitrary code.
 (CVE-2018-5150, CVE-2018-5151, CVE-2018-5153, CVE-2018-5154,
 CVE-2018-5155, CVE-2018-5157, CVE-2018-5158, CVE-2018-5159, CVE-2018-5160,
 CVE-2018-5163, CVE-2018-5164, CVE-2018-5168, CVE-2018-5173, CVE-2018-5175,
 CVE-2018-5177, CVE-2018-5180)

 Multiple security issues were discovered with WebExtensions. If a user
 were tricked in to installing a specially crafted extension, an attacker
 could potentially exploit these to obtain sensitive information, or bypass
 security restrictions. (CVE-2018-5152, CVE-2018-5166)

 It was discovered that the web console and JavaScript debugger incorrectly
 linkified chrome: and javascript URLs. If a user were tricked in to
 clicking a specially crafted link, an attacker could potentially exploit
 this to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2018-5167)

 It was discovered that dragging and dropping link text on to the home
 button could set the home page to include chrome pages. If a user were
 tricked in to dragging and dropping a specially crafted link on to the
 home button, an attacker could potentially exploit this bypass security
 restrictions. (CVE-2018-5169)

 It was discovered that the Live Bookmarks page and PDF viewer would run
 script pasted from the clipboard. If a user were tricked in to copying and
 pasting specially crafted text, an attacker could potentially exploit this
 to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2018-5172)

 It was discovered that the JSON viewer incorrectly linkified javascript:
 URLs. If a user were tricked in to clicking on a specially crafted link,
 an attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive
 information. (CVE-2018-5176)

 It was discovered that dragging a file: URL on to a tab that is running in
 a different process would cause the file to open in that process. If a
 user were tricked in to dragging a file: URL, an attacker could
 potentially exploit this to bypass intended security policies.
 (CVE-2018-5181)

 It was discovered that dragging text that is a file: URL on to the
 addressbar would open the specified file. If a user were tricked in to
 dragging specially crafted text on to the addressbar, an attacker could
 potentially exploit this to bypass intended security policies.
