CVE-2018-5127: Buffer overflow manipulating SVG animatedPathSegList Impact high Description A buffer overflow can occur when manipulating the SVG animatedPathSegList through script. This results in a potentially exploitable crash. CVE-2018-5129: Out-of-bounds write with malformed IPC messages Impact high Description A lack of parameter validation on IPC messages results in a potential out-of-bounds write through malformed IPC messages. This can potentially allow for sandbox escape through memory corruption in the parent process. CVE-2018-5130: Mismatched RTP payload type can trigger memory corruption Impact high Description When packets with a mismatched RTP payload type are sent in WebRTC connections, in some circumstances a potentially exploitable crash is triggered. CVE-2018-5131: Fetch API improperly returns cached copies of no-store/no-cache resources Impact moderate Description Under certain circumstances the fetch() API can return transient local copies of resources that were sent with a no-store or no-cache cache header instead of downloading a copy from the network as it should. This can result in previously stored, locally cached data of a website being accessible to users if they share a common profile while browsing. CVE-2018-5144: Integer overflow during Unicode conversion Impact moderate Description An integer overflow can occur during conversion of text to some Unicode character sets due to an unchecked length parameter. CVE-2018-5125: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 59 and Firefox ESR 52.7 Impact critical Description Mozilla developers and community members Bob Clary, Olli Pettay, Christoph Diehl, Christian Holler, Nils Ohlmeier, Randell Jesup, Tyson Smith, Ralph Giles, and Philipp reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 58 and Firefox ESR 52.6. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code.
These vulnerabilities also affect www-client/firefox-bin. Affected versions are < 59.0 and for ESR, <52.7 (but 52.7.1 was released: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/52.7.1/releasenotes/. Regards
Two other "critical" vulnerabilities are there, which are fixed in 59.0.1 and ESR 52.7.2. See MFSA 2018-08: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2018-08/ . In CVE, they're CVE-2018-5146 and CVE-2018-5147. Thanks.

If the maintainers are busy, can't someone do something? At least for ESR. (Perhaps setting a deadline, say 3 days, might help keeping Gentoo's value.) Sorry for making noise, but it's a security issue, deemed "critical".
(Off-topic, about unofficial ebuilds. Sorry for abusing bugzilla for such thing.) To try www-client/firefox-bin-59.0.2.ebuild and www-client/firefox-59.0.2.ebuild, see this forum thread: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1079094.html
Also see bug # 651676. Current ESR version is 52.7.3
