USN-3257-1: WebKitGTK+ vulnerabilities
10 April 2017
Several security issues were fixed in WebKitGTK+.
Releases
Packages
- webkit2gtk - Web content engine library for GTK+
Details
A large number of security issues were discovered in the WebKitGTK+ Web 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 16.10
-
libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18
-
2.16.1-0ubuntu0.16.10.1
-
libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37
-
2.16.1-0ubuntu0.16.10.1
Ubuntu 16.04
-
libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18
-
2.16.1-0ubuntu0.16.04.1
-
libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37
-
2.16.1-0ubuntu0.16.04.1
This update uses a new upstream release, which includes additional bug
fixes. After a standard system update you need to restart any applications
that use WebKitGTK+, such as Epiphany, to make all the necessary changes.
