CVE-2018-18501 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Ubuntu:16.04 firefox to version 65.0+build2-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream firefox package and not the firefox package as distributed by Ubuntu.
See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.
Mozilla developers and community members reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 64 and Firefox ESR 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. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 60.5, Firefox ESR < 60.5, and Firefox < 65.
