firefox vulnerabilities
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, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-12375, CVE-2018-12376, CVE-2018-12377, CVE-2018-12378)
It was discovered that if a user saved passwords before Firefox 58 and then later set a primary password, an unencrypted copy of these passwords would still be accessible. A local user could exploit this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2018-12383)
