1470897 - Assertion failure: is<T>(), at obj-firefox/dist/include/mozilla/Variant.h:681 in Telemetry IPC

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Telemetry, defect, P1)

Description

[Alex Gaynor [:Alex_Gaynor]]

This was found by the IPC fuzzer.

It's not a security issue, but it is a fuzzing-efficiency issue. Ideally the IPC endpoint would return an error, rather than crashing on an assertion failure.

Assertion failure: is<T>(), at /builds/worker/workspace/build/src/obj-firefox/dist/include/mozilla/Variant.h:681

Hrm, Phabricator Automation doesn't echo back my review message. 

"Can you set up a follow-up mentored bug for adding test coverage for these cases?"

I'm assuming this isn't something we need to fix in 62.  Please request uplift if I'm wrong.
