CVE-2017-7838 is fixed in 4 products on 1 platform, first by firefox 57.0.1+build2-0ubuntu1, released June 11, 2018. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
Punycode format text will be displayed for entire qualified international domain names in some instances when a sub-domain triggers the punycode display instead of the primary domain being displayed in native script and the sub-domain only displaying as punycode. This could be used for limited spoofing attacks due to user confusion. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 57.
