Comment 2 Doran Moppert 2017-04-28 06:48:20 UTC 
This is the same vulnerability as CVE-2017-7867 (bug 1444097), though clusterfuzz identified it as different due to a slightly different stack trace when the crash occurred.  Both are addressed by the same patch upstream, which correctly accounts for legacy 6-byte utf8 sequences.
