Description

Multiple security vulnerabilities were found in the WebKitGTK Web and JavaScript engines. These issues could allow a remote attacker to exploit web browser security flaws, including cross-site scripting, denial of service, and arbitrary code execution, if a user visits a malicious website. Fixed versions have been released and are available through Ubuntu security updates.
