Description Alex Legler (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2009-08-17 16:19:14 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #281818 +++

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.
Comment 1 Alex Legler (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2009-08-17 16:21:28 UTC
All versions (1.1.7, 1.1.8, 1.1.10, r40220) except r46193 are vulnerable.
Comment 2 Alex Legler (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2009-08-17 16:27:26 UTC
See blocker for a patch.

Great, thanks.

Looks OK on x86 but tests do weird things like starting a kded. Is this expected?
Comment 8 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-12-24 10:03:25 UTC
test do weird things indeed, see all currently open bugs against webkit-gtk, you'll see there are other issues, but they are not specific to 1.2.5 and we did not figure out how to fix all of them yet.
Comment 9 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2010-12-24 10:36:02 UTC
Last time I asked upstream about a failing test, they told me tests were checked by them before any release to verify they run ok, then, my suggestion is to try to compile webkit-gtk manually and run tests and, if they still fail, report to upstream. If not... we will need to investigate a bit more ;-)

Yep, also fails for vanilla. x86 stable.

In that case, feel free to open a bug report here and provide a link to upstream bug report for allowing us to track. Thanks again :-)
