If a watch is set on the childNodes object of an XML object, and then the XML object is manipulated in a way that causes its child nodes to be enumerated, the watch will trigger. If the function in the watch deletes all the child nodes, the buffer containing the nodes will be deleted, even though the original function will still access it when it unwinds. This can lead to a childnodes array in ActionScript containing pointers that can be specified by an attacker.
