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 or opening new tabs, escape the sandbox, bypass same-origin
restrictions, obtain sensitive information, confuse the user with
misleading permission requests, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-5125,
