Detail
| A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS - Ubuntu 17.10 - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Summary: Firefox could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a malicious website.

(CVE-2018-5152, CVE-2018-5166) It was discovered that the web console and JavaScript debugger incorrectly linkified chrome: and javascript URLs. If a user were tricked in to clicking a specially crafted link, an attacker could potentially exploit this to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2018-5167) It was discovered that dragging and dropping link text on to the home button could set the home page to include chrome pages.

(CVE-2018-5172) It was discovered that the JSON viewer incorrectly linkified javascript: URLs. If a user were tricked in to clicking on a specially crafted link, an attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2018-5176) It was discovered that dragging a file: URL on to a tab that is running in a different process would cause the file to open in that process. If a user were tricked in to dragging a file: URL, an attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass intended security policies. (CVE-2018-5181) It was discovered that dragging text that is a file: URL on to the addressbar would open the specified file. If a user were tricked in to dragging specially crafted text on to the addressbar, an attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass intended security policies.
