In Bug 1315840 we hand audited all of the custom serializations in the IPC code. We looked at all uses of ParamTraits. The results are here: https://docs.google.com/a/mozilla.com/spreadsheets/d/1sTgA4bOuV0j1bP7_Q_QKsfiNNLfdIg_1CCo4-iB_cfo/edit?usp=sharing There are 13 uses that were flagged as having problems. This bug is to track the work at looking at each one. struct ParamTraits<mozilla::EventMessage> struct ParamTraits<mozilla::plugins::NPRemoteEvent> // synonym for XEvent struct ParamTraits<NPWindowType> struct ParamTraits<NSCursorInfo> struct ParamTraits<NPNVariable> struct ParamTraits<NPNURLVariable> struct ParamTraits<NPCoordinateSpace> struct ParamTraits<mozilla::layers::SurfaceDescriptorX11> struct ParamTraits<Permission> struct ParamTraits<mozilla::net::NetAddr> struct ParamTraits<mozilla::net::ResourceTimingStruct> struct ParamTraits<mozilla::net::nsHttpHeaderArray::nsEntry> struct ParamTraits<mozilla::WidgetTouchEvent>

This is an assigned P1 bug without activity in two weeks. If you intend to continue working on this bug for the current release/iteration/sprint, remove the 'stale-bug' keyword. Otherwise we'll reset the priority of the bug back to '--' on Monday, August 28th.

Paul, is this work we want to complete? I imagine the data here is also pretty stale.

Yes, along with the rest of the IPC audit. I don't have anyone who can pick up this work though.
