Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Buffer Overflow in the process of handling web content. An attacker can achieve memory corruption and potentially execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into processing or loading malicious web content. This is only exploitable if the system has specific packages installed and is being used via a graphical interface to process untrusted web content, such as through GNOME.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by removing the dependent packages that require the affected component or by avoiding the processing of untrusted web content.
