  through HP Zero Day Initiative's Pwn2Own contest, a flaw in Mozilla's
  implementation of typed array bounds checking in JavaScript
  just-in-time compilation (JIT) and its management of bounds checking
  for heap access. This flaw can be leveraged into the reading and
  writing of memory allowing for arbitrary code execution on the local
  system.
