Upstream does not consider this to be a security issue.  It is being treated as
a crash only.  See the Mozilla bug for more details.

Vendor statement was published on Nist NVD site:

Red Hat does not consider this flaw a security issue. This flaw is not
exploitable beyond causing the web browser to crash.
