Is the ESR10 branch affected by this sg:high?
No; the graphite lib isn't present there.
Verified fixed in my May 10 post-fix ASAN build on OS X.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
If we have graphite2 in Firefox 13 we need to uplift this patch.

patch, cherry-pick fix from graphite repository

[Approval Request Comment]
Bug caused by (feature/regressing bug #): graphite font-shaping library

User impact if declined: users who enable graphite may be vulnerable to a crash caused by a malicious/buggy font

Testing completed (on m-c, etc.): see comment #8

Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky): minimal risk, just adds a missing bounds check

String or UUID changes made by this patch: none

Nominating this for aurora (14) on the basis of comment #9.

The patch here doesn't apply to beta (13), because we took a complete graphite refresh for mozilla-14 in bug 746975.

IMO, the security concern here is relatively minor, given that graphite is preffed off by default and only likely to be enabled by a small minority of users with a specific interest in trying it (primarily for "exotic" writing systems). I see no point in trying to backport just this specific patch to the mozilla-13 version; if we're sufficiently concerned about it, we should backport the complete graphite update (but personally I don't think it is important to do so for a preffed-off feature).
