CVE-2009-1686 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-1686):
  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 does not properly handle
  constant (aka const) declarations in a type-conversion operation
  during JavaScript exception handling, which allows remote attackers
  to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory
  corruption and application crash) via a crafted HTML document.

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