How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable wpewebkit to version 2.28.0-1 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.

WebKitGTK through 2.26.4 and WPE WebKit through 2.26.4 (which are the versions right before 2.28.0) contains a memory corruption issue (use-after-free) that may lead to arbitrary code execution. This issue has been fixed in 2.28.0 with improved memory handling.
