Seeing this here as well.
Comment 2 Mikko Tiihonen 2017-01-19 10:13:07 UTC 
Also happens here. Journal says:
*** stack smashing detected ***: /usr/bin/gnome-shell terminated

This is quite critical because one cannot boot a system with this update (since gdm is started by default) unless manually adding some systemd rescue commands to kernel boot configuration.
Comment 3 Kalev Lember 2017-01-19 11:25:08 UTC 
Thanks, the crash should be fixed with mozjs31-31.5.0-1.fc26 build.
