- Reporter
- Ben Kelly
- Impact
- moderate
Description
Under certain circumstances the fetch() API can return transient local copies of resources that were sent with a no-store or no-cache cache header instead of downloading a copy from the network as it should.

#CVE-2018-5125: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 59 and Firefox ESR 52.7
- Reporter
- Mozilla developers and community
- Impact
- critical
Description
Mozilla developers and community members Bob Clary, Olli Pettay, Christian Holler, Nils Ohlmeier, Randell Jesup, Tyson Smith, Ralph Giles, and Philipp reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 58 and Firefox ESR 52.6. 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.
