Details 
You can use setTimeout() to circumvent eval()'s principal checks
and can execute arbitary code with elevated privilege.
This one can exploit 1.0.x versions too.
Probably be fixed by bug 311403.

This should be fixed on trunk unless there's a similar exploit involving |new
Script|. Leaving open for that possibility.

Blake, are we done with this on the 1.8 branch then? If so, can you please add
the  fixed1.8 keyword. If not, can you help us make sure that it does get fixed
on the branch (with the fix for the other bug?) Thanks.
Asa, the plan right now is to land all of the security fixing that's been going
on in one fell swoop, so this is not yet fixed on the 1.8 branch.
Checked in on MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH.
