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, read uninitialized
 memory, bypass same-origin restrictions, bypass CORS restrictions,
 bypass CSRF protections, obtain sensitive information, or execute
 arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-5156, CVE-2018-5186, CVE-2018-5187,
 CVE-2018-5188, CVE-2018-12358, CVE-2018-12359, CVE-2018-12360,

 CVE-2018-12371)

 A security issue was discovered with WebExtensions. If a user were
 tricked in to installing a specially crafted extension, an attacker
 could potentially exploit this to obtain full browser permissions.
