TabParent::RecvSetCustomCursor[1] takes aCursorData and size (aWidth, aHeight) over IPC, and doesn't validate the size before calling: gfx::CreateDataSourceSurfaceFromData(size,aFormat, reinterpret_cast<const uint8_t*>(aCursorData.BeginReading()), aStride); Similar to bug 1438425, this will cause the parent process to grab memory following the buffer and attempt to use it for cursor data. Its not as easy an infoleak as 1438425, since reading the cursor data is not as easy as grabbing canvas content. But there is still a risk here associated with passing invalid data.
