Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure in the process of handling web content. An attacker can gain access to sensitive user data 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 related packages that require the affected library or by avoiding the processing or loading of untrusted web content.
