Thanks for taking on this tricky bug fix!

Please add a link to the patch source in the patch file. I know it can
be found in the linked bug report, but it does help readers to be
explicit, in my opinion.
Otherwise LGTM.
The patch is not in the cairo repo yet, AFAICT:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/cairo/
But, Debian did use it:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/cairo.git/tree/debian/patches/07_CVE-2016-9082.patch
Can you follow the upstream resolution of the bug in case they decide to
use a different patch?
