Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in WebkitGTK+, the worst of
which may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
Background
==========
WebKitGTK+ is a full-featured port of the WebKit rendering engine,
suitable for projects requiring any kind of web integration, offers
Webkit=E2=80=99s full functionality and is used on a wide range of systems.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-libs/webkit-gtk < 2.16.6:4 >= 2.16.6:4
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in WebkitGTK+. Please
review the references below for details.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could execute arbitrary code, cause a Denial of
Service condition, bypass intended memory-read restrictions, conduct a
timing side-channel attack to bypass the Same Origin Policy, obtain
sensitive information, or spoof the address bar.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All WebKitGTK+ users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.16.6"
Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these
packages.
