Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to hear and look at her code snippet: http://milw0rm.com/exploits/9137
2.
3.
Expected Results:
Memory corruption and security breach
Since it is reported to all Secunia users under Secunia Advisory SA35798 and there seems to be a confirmation made there I think it should be important to Mozilla Firefox as well.
This is a security problem but Secunia has made this public and therefore it is an issue that can and probably will be exploited.
