Description Alex Legler (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2009-09-08 11:04:17 UTC 
CVE-2009-1701 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-1701):
  Use-after-free vulnerability in the JavaScript DOM implementation in
  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 allows remote attackers
  to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application
  crash) by destroying a document.body element that has an unspecified
  XML container with elements that support the dir attribute.

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.
