You're correct that time machines don't exist yet. However, this is 
proof that they'll be invented in the next five months.

Stay tuned!

I highly doubt you reported this to Mozilla in "September of 2009". I 
don't think time machines like that exist yet, but i'd be pleased to be 
wrong.

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.

Cheers,
Sky
