Caution: This site does not appear to contain malware but on one occasion I was hit by an infinite app launcher via urls such as mailto etc. Be cautious.

This requires a Linux x86_64 ASAN *DEBUG* build.

1. Install Spider
   <https://bclary.com/projects/spider/spider-0.1.0.5-an+fn+fx+sm+tb.xpi>

2. firefox -spider -start -quit -url https://krgamedev.itch.io/word-whip

I do have a saved version captured via wget but I don't know how useful it will be to determine if there was mal-intent.

Jim, could take a look at this bug to investigate what's going on? (I'm making a guess that you are the right person for this part of the code, please reassign if somebody else would be more suitable, thx)

I have a hunch, but I imagine we can't test it if we can't reproduce it.  I'll attach a patch.

This was probably introduced in v50.  The CompositorBridgeChild can go away during ::RecvDidComposite(), as first dealt with in bug 1242668.  Bug 1176011 introduced more members, which are accessed after it potentially went away.

Maybe :)
Attached patch Hold on to the array items (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Not sure we can have the callers grip the object, it's coming from IPC; can't extra ref the array itself, so this just holds on to the array elements harder.

Another idea?

I think texturePools = mTexturePools should be sufficient instead of the manual loop.

Also maybe add a comment about why this needs to be done.

Patch with review comments addressed.

[Security approval request comment]
How easily could an exploit be constructed based on the patch? Not easy - we don't know what's trigger it.

Do comments in the patch, the check-in comment, or tests included in the patch paint a bulls-eye on the security problem? How it manifests, but not how to get there.

Which older supported branches are affected by this flaw? All relevant.

If not all supported branches, which bug introduced the flaw?

Do you have backports for the affected branches? If not, how different, hard to create, and risky will they be? Trivial

How likely is this patch to cause regressions; how much testing does it need? Not likely.  Some objects now live longer.
