the following vulnerability:

The nsObserverList::FillObserverArray function in xpcom/ds/nsObserverList.cpp

service (application crash) via a crafted web site that triggers memory 
consumption and an accompanying Low Memory alert dialog, and also triggers 
attempted removal of an observer from an empty observers array.
