Description Vincent Danen 2010-05-26 18:33:37 UTC 
A use after free issue exists in WebKit's handling of SVG documents with multiple 'use' elements. Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. This issue is addressed through improved handling of 'use' elements in SVG documents.
