CVE-2010-0659

Published: 18 February 2010

The image decoder in WebKit before r52833, as used in Google Chrome before 4.0.249.78, does not properly handle a failure of memory allocation, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the Chrome sandbox via a malformed GIF file that specifies a large size.

qt4-x11 unmaintained upstream (see README.webkit for details)
webkit is a fork of khtml from kdelibs. kdelibs5 is farther from
it, while qt4-x11 attempts to unify khtml and webkit.

webkitkde is a wrapper around qt4-x11's webkit.
