Bug 253780 is confidential because it contains a reduced testcase explaining how to implement the exploit. By the way, it isn't quite the same thing as bug 240246, which itself wouldn't mind being confidential, though it's a bit late for that. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 253780 ***

Should this one be reopened to cut down on duplicate reports?
Depends on: 253780
Might be wise. I'm just trying to minimize the noise. How 'bout when the next one comes in, we leave that open? I have some notion that it'll be a while.
