Description Alex Legler (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2009-09-08 11:03:41 UTC 
CVE-2009-1696 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-1696):
  WebKit in Apple Safari before 4.0, iPhone OS 1.0 through 2.2.1, and
  iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 2.2.1 uses predictable random
  numbers in JavaScript applications, which makes it easier for remote
  web servers to track the behavior of a Safari user during a session.

Presumably all affected versions are gone from tree. Closing as discussed with keytoaster.
