- CVE-2017-7843: Web worker in Private Browsing mode can write IndexedDB data

When Private Browsing mode is used, it is possible for a web worker to write
persistent data to IndexedDB and fingerprint a user uniquely. IndexedDB should
not be available in Private Browsing mode and this stored data will persist
across multiple private browsing mode sessions because it is not cleared when
exiting.

- CVE-2017-7844: Visited history information leak through SVG image

A combination of an external SVG image referenced on a page and the coloring of
anchor links stored within this image can be used to determine which pages a
user has in their history. This can allow a malicious website to query user
history.
Note: This issue only affects Firefox 57. Earlier releases are not affected.
