Comment 2 Scott Gayou 2019-03-25 21:11:53 UTC 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 is running 60.6.0, which is presumably impacted.
Comment 6 Scott Gayou 2019-03-25 22:01:34 UTC 
Reproduced this on the firefox version shipping with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. 5 and 6 were not tested, but I am guessing that they are vulnerable.
