Title:
Update mozjs52 to 52.1.9
Status in mozjs52 package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in mozjs52 source package in Bionic:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Impact
------
mozjs is Firefox's Spidermonkey JavaScript engine. mozjs52 is derived from
Firefox 52 ESR. 52.9 is the final scheduled release in the 52 series. (mozjs
itself never got "official releases" from Mozilla.)
By comparing the bug numbers in the release notes with the bug numbers
mentioned at https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-
dev/commits/esr52/js/src/ it looks like the new release includes one
or more memory safety bugs identified as CVE-2018-5188.
GNOME Shell (Ubuntu's default interface in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) requires
mozjs52. Nothing else in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS uses mozjs52.

Test Case
---------
Install the update. Restart your computer. Log in and make sure the default
desktop still works.
Regression Potential
--------------------
This is a minor release in the long-term support series. I count about 6
cherry-picked targeted commits.
Other Info
----------
I believe the version in Ubuntu 18.10 (synced with Debian) goes back to
building with the distro's ICU library instead of the bundled version. Maybe we
should backport from 18.10 instead of a more minimal diff against the Ubuntu
version. I did verify that a backport builds on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
A diff of the 18.10 version is at
