So here are the facts with regard to Html.Exploit.CVE_2017_8750-6336209-0 
(which is not the same as previously reported in this thread). It was just 
added to the database about fifteen hours ago in daily - 23863 and is looking 
for two strings which you can observer by using the following (I'm not posting 
it here so this e-mail won't be detected as infected):

sigtool -fHtml.Exploit.CVE_2017_8750-6336209-0|sigtool --decode-sigs

CVE-2017-8750 is described as <https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-8750>:
"Internet Explorer in Microsoft Windows 7 SP1, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, 
Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Microsoft Edge and 
Internet Explorer in Windows 10 Gold, 1511, 1607, 1703, and Windows Server 2016 
allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user 
due to the way that Microsoft browsers access objects in memory, aka "Microsoft 
Browser Memory Corruption Vulnerability"."

so it's not a threat to your platform unless you are also running Windows 
somehow.

My power just came back so I scanned my Firefox 55.0.3 for Mac and it tested 
clean. Taking a look at the omni.ja file I see 109 occurrences of the first 
string, but not the second.

So at this point I'll just repeat my advise from before to submit that file to 
<http://www.clamav.net/reports/fp> then return here and report a hash value.
