RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Michael Catanzaro 2020-03-25 16:51:03 UTC 
Rebase WebKitGTK to 2.28. Older branches are EOL.
Comment 1 Leon Fauster 2020-04-18 15:19:15 UTC 
Latest (April 16, 2020) / use-after-frees vulnerability:
https://webkitgtk.org/security/WSA-2020-0004.html

Not sure if this is really a rebase?

Latest version of webkit2gtk3 (2.28) still provides 

/usr/lib64/libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37

and therefore should be an inplace update?

Maybe this can be landed in 8.2?

There are dozens of other CVEs, including many that we haven't been able to get from Apple yet. No point in cherry-picking patches for just one or two. We will rebase.

Of course.

That's the goal, but there are various regressions that need to be solved first, so we'll see.

Just for the record, I'm going to build Evolution with a tiny change, as discussed in bug #1817144 comment #7 and below there.
Comment 9 Milan Crha 2020-06-11 13:55:46 UTC 
The version with the added patch is evolution-3.28.5-14.el8.
