Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libwebkit2gtk3-lang package and not the libwebkit2gtk3-lang package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

WebKitGTK and WPE WebKit prior to version 2.24.1 failed to properly apply configured HTTP proxy settings when downloading livestream video (HLS, DASH, or Smooth Streaming), an error resulting in deanonymization. This issue was corrected by changing the way livestreams are downloaded.
