Description Robert Förster 2009-07-25 11:12:33 UTC 
CVE-2009-1725 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-1725):
  WebKit in Apple Safari before 4.0.2 does not properly handle numeric
  character references, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary
  code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash)
  via a crafted HTML document.

No, it needs a glsa.
