...sigh.... This is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=456727, which I reported to Mozilla in September of 2009. It is a NULL ptr DoS, there is no "exploit" in the sense of executing arbitrary code, just a "repro" that can trigger a crash. The repro provided by Carl is the exact same repro I provided to Mozilla. Incidentally, Carl has report this exact same bug before: http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2009/Jan/0219.html. This is how the repro got on milw0rm in the first place (http://milw0rm.com/exploits/8091). Aditya K Sood later submitted the repro (slightly modified) to milw0rm as his code as well (http://milw0rm.com/exploits/8219). Some say plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery, so I guess I'll start obfuscating my repros into ASCII art that says "SkyLined" to prevent any more people from flattering me.

I found an unpatched vulnerability in the latest Firefox 3.0.8 allows a remote attacker to cause a DoS.
