This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 52.6, Firefox ESR < 52.6, and Firefox < 58.

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
