so, according to the LATEST fix:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1380

The JavaScript engine in Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.14, Thunderbird before 
2.0.0.14, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.10 allows remote attackers to cause a 
denial of service (garbage collector crash) and possibly have other impacts 
via a crafted web page. NOTE: this is due to an incorrect fix for 
CVE-2008-1237.

 Iceweasel is fixed same as FF 2.0.0.15
