What would make a memory leak become an exploitable security issue?

(In reply to Darin Adler from comment #2) > What would make a memory leak become an exploitable security issue? A remote attacker with operation privilege could exploit the vulnerability by sending specific messages continuously. Successful exploit may cause some service abnormal

WebKit is filled with memory leaks. The worst that's going to happen is an OOM kill. We don't track these as security bugs. Your report from LeakSanitizer would be a lot more useful if you built with debuginfo enabled, so we can see what's going on. But the poc is sufficient for a bug report.
