Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2016-03-08 01:14:59 EST

Security researcher Dominique Hazaël-Massieux reported a use-after-free issue when using multiple WebRTC data channel connections. This causes a potentially exploitable crash when a data channel connection is freed from within a call through it.
