CVE-2016-1728 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:16.04.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream webkit2gtk package and not the webkit2gtk package as distributed by Ubuntu.
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) implementation in Apple iOS before 9.2.1 and Safari before 9.0.3 mishandles the "a:visited button" selector during height processing, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain sensitive browser-history information via a crafted web site.
