USN-1195-1: WebKit vulnerabilities

Releases

• Ubuntu 10.10
• Ubuntu 10.04

Packages

• webkit - Web content engine library for GTK+

Details

A large number of security issues were discovered in the WebKit browser and
JavaScript engines. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious
website, a remote attacker could exploit a variety of issues related to web
browser security, including cross-site scripting attacks, denial of
service attacks, and arbitrary code execution.

Update instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 10.10

• libwebkit-1.0-2 - 1.2.7-0ubuntu0.10.10.1

Ubuntu 10.04

• libwebkit-1.0-2 - 1.2.7-0ubuntu0.10.04.1

After a standard system update you need to restart any applications that
use WebKit, such as Epiphany and Midori, to make all the necessary changes.
