CVE-2008-2786 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-2786):
  Buffer overflow in Firefox 3.0 and 2.0.x has unknown impact and
  attack vectors.  NOTE: due to lack of details as of 20080619, it is
  not clear whether this is the same issue as CVE-2008-2785.  A CVE
  identifier has been assigned for tracking purposes.

It seems there is no public information available, I just opened this issue for tracking purposes.

Comment 3 Stefan Behte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2009-01-25 15:06:20 UTC 
It might still be 0day as the source for this was a "uh look I have an exploit for firefox 3 and this is the hash"-post on http://lists.grok.org.uk/pipermail/full-disclosure/2008-June/062832.html
Comment 4 Pierre-Yves Rofes (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-04-08 18:07:28 UTC 
we should probably contact upstream to sort this out.
Comment 5 Jory A. Pratt gentoo-dev 2010-09-16 13:07:24 UTC 
Mozilla has nothing to do here.

Upstream's bug report:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=402735

The crash was caused due to a 3rd party extension (Download accelerator plus) and so it is invalid.
