Description Alex Legler (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2009-09-08 11:04:29 UTC
CVE-2009-1703 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-1703):
  WebKit in Apple Safari before 4.0 does not prevent references to
  file: URLs within (1) audio and (2) video elements, which allows
  remote attackers to determine the existence of arbitrary files via a
  crafted HTML document.

According to https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=287494#c0, this issue was fixed in =net-libs/webkit-gtk-1.1.10. Updating status to [glsa], so it shows up in reports accordingly.

Presumably all affected versions are gone from tree. Closing as discussed with keytoaster. No GLSA for you.
