This was caused by the fix for Bug 310425.

http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/js/src/jsarray.c#1099
1099 array_unshift(JSContext *cx, JSObject *obj, uintN argc, jsval *argv,
 ...
1117 if (id == JSID_HOLE) {
1118     OBJ_DELETE_PROPERTY(cx, obj, id2, &junk);
1119     continue;
1120 }

Here, id2 is not initialized(*A), or holds last used value(*B).

*A
When the last element of an array is hole, uninitialized id2 is passed to js_DeleteProperty as id arg. 

http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/js/src/jsobj.c#3198
3198 js_DeleteProperty(JSContext *cx, JSObject *obj, jsid id, jsval *rval)
 ...
3215     CHECK_FOR_STRING_INDEX(id);

http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/js/src/jsobj.c#2243
2243 #define CHECK_FOR_STRING_INDEX(id)
2244     JS_BEGIN_MACRO
2245         if (JSID_IS_ATOM(id)) {
 ...

If (id & 3) == 0, id is treated as JSAtom. And then Firefox attempts to read 
from unexpected addresses and might cause Segmentation fault.


*B
var a = [0,1,2,3,4];
delete a[1];
var s = "before: " + a + "\n";
a.unshift("a","b");
s += " after: " + a + "\n";

before: 0,,2,3,4
 after: a,b,0,3,,3,4

Yes, control-flow-statements (such as continue, break, and return) are most certainly evil around holes in arrays.

Any chance this can land on 1.8.0 so that we don't have to wait for 1.8.1?

> Any chance this can land on 1.8.0 so that we don't have to wait for 1.8.1?

I am arguing for that, after failing to pursue it earlier based on likely minus'ing by drivers.  But that was almost a week ago, and this patch could have landed without harm since then, for inclusion in a respin.

Do you have JS, or know of any, that this bug bites?

For the record, this should have been fixed for RC3.  I take blame for not nominating it.  I thought it would be minus'ed, and that I'd have to override a bunch of people and make them feel stepped on.  Clearly I should have nominated it, argued for it, and if necessary overridden any objections.  Sorry,

if the fix can be included in the next firefox security and stability release, that would be good I think. This bug makes crash noxtrum.com, the new beta search engine from TelCo giant Telefonica ("yellow pages" in Spain and SouthAmerica). As soon as their search services goes out of beta it will be used on the whole Terra network and the crash will be very visible to the general public.
This is a no-brainer for both the patch release and the next planned branch-based product release.
