Description Jan Lieskovsky 2009-09-25 18:32:41 UTC

A security flaw was found in the way WebKit used to handle media elements
(audio and video tags). A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted document, requesting loading of sub-resources (such as remote URLs),
which would be normally disallowed by the callback function(s).

Upstream patch:

Comment related to latest Fedora Qt and WebKit updates and this CVE id:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

While the latest versions of Qt and WebKit packages, as shipped
with relevant Fedora releases might be vulnerable to this flaw, the
patch for this issue was not committed yet, as it needs further
review and testing. Once it was proven to be safe, it will be included
into current versions of Qt and WebKit packages, as shipped with Fedora.
