title: Crash when using shared memory in JavaScript

<h3>Description</h3>

<p>Security researcher <strong><NAME></strong> reported a crash that
occurs because JavaScript, when using shared memory, does not properly gate
access to <code>Atomics</>code> or <code>SharedArrayBuffer</code> views in some
contexts. This leads to a non-exploitable crash.
