https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2018-27/ Shows "Critical," but no details except for CVEs below beginning with "high." So question: is there a critical vulnerability fixed in this version or not? If a critical vulnerability has been fixed, where do I find details?

OK, seeing those 2 re. memory corruption now if I scroll to bottom of page. Assumed critical fixed would be listed first just below the critical heading in red, instead of appearing after ones less severe: high, moderate, low. Hadn't thought it was necessary to keep scrolling down the page to see those. This presentation showing the critical after low doesn't make a lot of sense and introduces confusion. But will know in future where to look.

The details about each is on the page. It mentions "Fixed in Firefox ESR 60.3" on top of page.
