A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when flushing and resizing layout because the "PressShell" object has been freed while still in use. This results in a potentially exploitable crash during these operations. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 57, Firefox ESR < 52.5, and Thunderbird < 52.5.

JIT code allocation can allow for a bypass of ASLR and DEP protections leading to potential memory corruption attacks.
Use-after-free while manipulating XSL in XSLT documents
A potential use-after-free found through fuzzing during DOM manipulation of SVG content.
The JSON viewer in the Developer Tools uses insecure methods to create a communication channel for copying and viewing JSON or HTTP headers data, allowing for potential privilege escalation.
Hashed codes of JavaScript objects are shared between pages. This allows for pointer leaks because an object's address can be discovered through hash codes, and also allows for data leakage of an object's content using these hash codes. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 45.7, Firefox ESR < 45.7, and Firefox < 51.
A use-after-free vulnerability in the Media Decoder when working with media files when some events are fired after the media elements are freed from memory.
URLs containing certain unicode glyphs for alternative hyphens and quotes do not properly trigger punycode display, allowing for domain name spoofing attacks in the location bar.
Memory safety bugs were reported in Firefox 50.1 and Firefox ESR 45.6. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 45.7, Firefox ESR < 45.7, and Firefox < 51.
WebExtension scripts can use the "data:" protocol to affect pages loaded by other web extensions using this protocol, leading to potential data disclosure or privilege escalation in affected extensions. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 45.7 and Firefox < 51.
Use-after-free while manipulating DOM events and removing audio elements due to errors in the handling of node adoption.
Event handlers on "marquee" elements were executed despite a strict Content Security Policy (CSP) that disallowed inline JavaScript. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 50.1, Firefox ESR < 45.6, and Thunderbird < 45.6.
Use-after-free resulting in potentially exploitable crash when manipulating DOM subtrees in the Editor.
An attacker could use a JavaScript Map/Set timing attack to determine whether an atom is used by another compartment/zone in specific contexts. This could be used to leak information, such as usernames embedded in JavaScript code, across websites.
External resources that should be blocked when loaded by SVG images can bypass security restrictions through the use of "data:" URLs. This could allow for cross-domain data leakage. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 50.1, Firefox ESR < 45.6, and Thunderbird < 45.6.
A potentially exploitable crash in "EnumerateSubDocuments" while adding or removing sub-documents. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 45.6 and Thunderbird < 45.6.
Memory safety bugs were reported in Thunderbird 45.5. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 50.1, Firefox ESR < 45.6, and Thunderbird < 45.6.
HTML tags received from the Pocket server will be processed without sanitization and any JavaScript code executed will be run in the about:pocket-saved (unprivileged) page, giving it access to Pocket's messaging API through HTML injection.
The Pocket toolbar button, once activated, listens for events fired from it's own pages but does not verify the origin of incoming events. This allows content from other origins to fire events and inject content and commands into the Pocket context. Note: this issue does not affect users with e10s enabled.
When Private Browsing mode is used, it is possible for a web worker to write persistent data to IndexedDB and fingerprint a user uniquely. IndexedDB should not be available in Private Browsing mode and this stored data will persist across multiple private browsing mode sessions because it is not cleared when exiting.
A use-after-free vulnerability when using an incorrect URL during the reloading of a docshell. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.
A use-after-free vulnerability with content viewer listeners that results in a potentially exploitable crash.
A use-after-free vulnerability during video control operations when a "<track>" element holds a reference to an older window if that window has been replaced in the DOM. This results in a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 54, Firefox ESR < 52.2, and Thunderbird < 52.2.
