Description Vincent Danen 2010-06-11 20:19:38 EDT

A use after free issue exists in WebKit's rendering of HTML document
subtrees. Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to an unexpected
application termination or arbitrary code execution. This issue is
addressed through improved rendering of HTML document subtrees.

Comment 1 Vincent Danen 2010-06-11 20:33:01 EDT

Based on the code, this looks applicable to webkitgtk (1.2.0, svn r56916) and qt (4.6.2, svn r50154).

The upstream reproducer, however, does not crash webkitgtk or qt.

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2014-09-23 10:17:12 EDT

Confirmed this is fixed in el6's qtwebkit-2.1.1 and fedora's qtwebkit-2.3.x

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2014-09-23 10:17:28 EDT

make that epel-6's qtwebkit-2.1.1
