CVE-2018-5117 is fixed in 12 products on 1 platform, first by thunderbird 1:52.6.0+build1-0ubuntu1, released January 22, 2018. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
If right-to-left text is used in the addressbar with left-to-right alignment, it is possible in some circumstances to scroll this text to spoof the displayed URL. This issue could result in the wrong URL being displayed as a location, which can mislead users to believe they are on a different site than the one loaded. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 52.6, Firefox ESR < 52.6, and Firefox < 58.
