## Description

js/src/jstracer.cpp in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox 3.6.x before
3.6.7 and Thunderbird 3.1.x before 3.1.1 allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly
execute arbitrary code via vectors related to (1) propagation of deep
aborts in the TraceRecorder::record\_JSOP\_BINDNAME function, (2) depth
handling in the TraceRecorder::record\_JSOP\_GETELEM function, and (3)
tracing of out-of-range arguments in the TraceRecorder::record\_JSOP\_ARGSUB
function.
