When drawing a transparent image on top of an unknown cross-origin image, the
Skia library drawImage function took a variable amount of time depending on
the content of the underlying image. This resulted in potential cross-origin
information exposure of image content through timing side-channel attacks
(CVE-2020-16012).
A parsing and event loading mismatch in Firefox's SVG code could have allowed
load events to fire, even after sanitization. An attacker already capable of
exploiting an XSS vulnerability in privileged internal pages could have used
this attack to bypass our built-in sanitizer (CVE-2020-26951).
It was possible to cause the browser to enter fullscreen mode without
displaying the security UI; thus making it possible to attempt a phishing
attack or otherwise confuse the user (CVE-2020-26953).
