Upgrade Debian:unstable
wpewebkit
to version 2.34.1-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wpewebkit
package and not the wpewebkit
package as distributed by Debian
.
See How to fix?
for Debian:unstable
relevant fixed versions and status.
BubblewrapLauncher.cpp in WebKitGTK and WPE WebKit before 2.34.1 allows a limited sandbox bypass that allows a sandboxed process to trick host processes into thinking the sandboxed process is not confined by the sandbox, by abusing VFS syscalls that manipulate its filesystem namespace. The impact is limited to host services that create UNIX sockets that WebKit mounts inside its sandbox, and the sandboxed process remains otherwise confined. NOTE: this is similar to CVE-2021-41133.
