All bugs in OpenGL implementations are now security problems in WebGL. I
hope that this will actually force OpenGL implementors, like
GPU manufacturers, to test more rigorously before releasing drivers with
bugs. Which will make the world better for everyone using OpenGL
(through WebGL or not) :)

This is the reason why Firefox 4 has a "blacklist" mechanism, and you
will not get WebGL support on some older/buggy GPUs, even if you have
OpenGL working with many other programs.
