Upgrade webkitgtk to version 2.50.2 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Buffer Overflow via the processing of maliciously crafted web content. An attacker can cause an unexpected process crash or potentially execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into loading specially crafted content. This is only exploitable if the system is configured with packages that require the vulnerable component and are used via a graphical interface to process untrusted web content, such as through GNOME.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by avoiding the processing or loading of untrusted web content and, where possible, removing packages that require the vulnerable component. Note that removing certain packages may impact system functionality, especially if they are required by the graphical environment.
