How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:6 webkitgtk-doc.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream webkitgtk-doc package and not the webkitgtk-doc package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

WebKit, as used in Apple Safari before 6.1.3 and 7.x before 7.0.3, does not properly validate WebProcess IPC messages, which allows remote attackers to bypass a sandbox protection mechanism and read arbitrary files by leveraging WebProcess access.
