CVE-2016-1726
    Versions affected: WebKitGTK+ before 2.10.8.
    Credit to Apple.
    WebKit, as used in Apple iOS before 9.2.1 and Safari before 9.0.3, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted web site, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-1723 and CVE-2016-1725.

CVE-2016-1728 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2016-1728):
  The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) implementation in Apple iOS before 9.2.1

Comment 4 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2016-03-28 14:07:34 UTC
we would need 2.10.9 instead as 2.10.8 has some regressions per:

x86 stable.

Maintainer(s), please cleanup.
Comment 7 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-11-21 16:54:26 UTC
@ Maintainer(s): Still waiting for your cleanup. If you want to keep v2.4 for some reason please tell us so we have to check if these versions are affected and need masking.
Comment 8 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2016-11-22 11:16:06 UTC
We can not clean these up without heavily breaking the tree, because many packages in tree still use webkit-gtk SLOT 2 or 3.

Comment 15 Nikolay Kichukov 2018-03-14 08:50:00 UTC
Do not remove it from the portage tree(SLOT2). Mask it and allow the user to still use it if they are running an application that depends on it. Citrix Receiver is one such application.

Thanks,

    net-libs/webkit-gtk: Remove security vulnerable SLOT=2 and SLOT=3
    
    These slots are years old, unmaintained and vulnerable to hundreds of
    bugs with a CVE assigned. Additionally there are some known unfixed
    issues building against newer ICU. No interest in continued maintenance
    of known hugely security vulnerable versions, thus with no consumers
    remaining in main tree, this is going away now. Sorry.
    If you need this, please think seriously ten times before you make it
    available to yourself via an overlay, or use any software that requires
    this security riddled version still.
    
    Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/577068

Comment 17 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2018-03-25 19:17:27 UTC
(In reply to Nikolay Kichukov from comment #15)
> Citrix Receiver is one such application.

I see a Citrix Receiver released 2 days ago, which does use webkit-gtk:4 instead in its webcontainer components (links against libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37 and gtk3), though there's still also a .so it ships itself that links to webkit-gtk:2, but not sure if and where it's used; just like icaclient webkit-gtk:2 dep was questionable as well for at least main functionality.

However, lets not go into further discussion about this here - this is a security bug that gets e-mail to many people, etc. Thought to at least notify my findings still; make of them what you will after testing this newer release, if possible (to connect to your servers or whatnot).
Comment 18 Nikolay Kichukov 2018-05-07 14:21:16 UTC
Citrix receiver(selfservice) 13.9.1(latest) still depends on the old version of webkit-gtk:2:

open("/usr/lib64/libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0.so.0", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
...
write(2, "selfservice is unable to find a "..., 77selfservice is unable to find a compatible webkit library and will now exit.
) = 77

So it does have a dependency for something that Gentoo removed and not masked.

Thanks,
