Description Alex Legler (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2009-09-08 11:05:00 UTC 
CVE-2009-1712 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-1712):
  WebKit in Apple Safari before 4.0 does not prevent remote loading of
  local Java applets, which allows remote attackers to execute
  arbitrary code, gain privileges, or obtain sensitive information via
  an APPLET or OBJECT element.

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.
