These seem to be similar vulnerabilities to Firefox, including remotely exploitable:

#CVE-2018-18500: Use-after-free parsing HTML5 stream

Reporter
    Yaniv Frank with SophosLabs
Impact
    critical

Description

A use-after-free vulnerability can occur while parsing an HTML5 stream in concert with custom HTML elements. This results in the stream parser object being freed while still in use, leading to a potentially exploitable crash.

#CVE-2018-18505: Privilege escalation through IPC channel messages

Reporter
    Jed Davis
Impact
    high

Description

An earlier fix for an Inter-process Communication (IPC) vulnerability, CVE-2011-3079, added authentication to communication between IPC endpoints and server parents during IPC process creation. This authentication is insufficient for channels created after the IPC process is started, leading to the authentication not being correctly applied to later channels. This could allow for a sandbox escape through IPC channels due to lack of message validation in the listener process.

#CVE-2016-5824: DoS (use-after-free) via a crafted ics file

Reporter
    Brandon Perry
Impact
    low

Description

A vulnerability in the Libical libary used by Thunderbird can allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted ICS calendar file.

#CVE-2018-18501: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 65, Firefox ESR 60.5, and Thunderbird 60.5

Reporter
    Mozilla developers and community
Impact
    critical

Description

Mozilla developers and community members Alex Gaynor, Christoph Diehl, Steven Crane, Jason Kratzer, Gary Kwong, and Christian Holler reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 64, Firefox ESR 60.4, and Thunderbird 60.4. 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.

I'm calling this a critical update, and will work on it and Node.JS overnight. They'll be in by the end of tomorrow at the latest.

Heads up guys, I'm having some issues with the build process on this one, after say about 27 minutes of compiling at -j4. I get either an ICE or I run out of memory. I need an extra day or two more to figure this out, and then it'll be in.

Going to give it another whirl. The whole reason why it's running this slow is that my system lost its lunch when I tried to build it for myself. At -j4, it's 31 SBU.

Going to continue to investigate, but I figured I'd show what I'm talking about.
