Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Buffer Overflow in the processing of web content due to improper bounds checking in the process. An attacker can cause a process crash or potentially achieve remote code execution by tricking a user into 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 packages that require the affected library for web content processing, or by avoiding the processing or loading of untrusted web content.
