The allegedly critical hole reported yesterday in Firefox’s JavaScript implementation has turned out to be a hoax. Mischa Spiegelmock, who made the claim at the Toorcon hacker conference is now stating that “The main purpose” of the talk was to be “humorous.”

While it may be possible to create the stack overflow that they had stated was a security hole, the only result has been able to produce a browser crash. Neither Spiegelmock, nor anyone else, has actually managed to execute any code through this supposed security hole.
