## Description

The mozilla::dom::AudioEventTimeline function in the Web Audio API
implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 32.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before
31.1, and Thunderbird 31.x before 31.1 does not properly create audio
timelines, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information
from process memory or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via
crafted API calls.
