## Description

Use-after-free vulnerability in WebKit before r65958, as used in Google
Chrome before 6.0.472.59, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors that trigger
use of document APIs such as document.close during parsing, as demonstrated
by a Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) file referencing an invalid SVG font, aka
rdar problem 8442098.

## Notes

---

### [jdstrand](https://launchpad.net/~jdstrand)

qt4-x11 unmaintained upstream (see README.webkit for details)
webkit is a fork of khtml from kdelibs. kdelibs5 is farther from
it, while qt4-x11 attempts to unify khtml and webkit.

---

### [mdeslaur](https://launchpad.net/~mdeslaur)

webkitkde is a wrapper around qt4-x11's webkit.

---

### [jdstrand](https://launchpad.net/~jdstrand)

chromium-browser usually has its own CVEs for its own embedded
webkit, but adjust it as needed

---

### [mdeslaur](https://launchpad.net/~mdeslaur)

debian lists changeset 65692, but I'm not so sure
