NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream webkit2gtk-4_0-injected-bundles package and not the webkit2gtk-4_0-injected-bundles package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 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.
