The security vulnerability in Mozilla FireFox reported by Tom Ferris is
exploitable on Windows.

It's also easly exploitable on Linux -- no problems with jumping to arbitrary
address:

(gdb) x/i $eip
0x867926c <_ZN16nsTypedSelection5ClearEP14nsIPresContext+2236>:
    call   *0x4(%eax)
(gdb) info reg eax
eax            0x61616161       1633771873
