webkit2gtk vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in WebKitGTK.

Software Description:
- webkit2gtk: Web content engine library for GTK+

Details:

Several security issues were discovered in WebKitGTK Web and JavaScript
engines. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a
remote attacker could exploit a variety of issues related to web browser
security, including cross-site scripting attacks, denial of service attacks,
and arbitrary code execution.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:
  libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18     2.36.4-0ubuntu0.22.04.1
  libjavascriptcoregtk-4.1-0      2.36.4-0ubuntu0.22.04.1
  libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37            2.36.4-0ubuntu0.22.04.1
  libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0             2.36.4-0ubuntu0.22.04.1

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:
  libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18     2.36.4-0ubuntu0.20.04.1
  libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37            2.36.4-0ubuntu0.20.04.1

This update uses a new upstream release, which includes additional bug
fixes. After a standard system update you need to restart any applications
that use WebKitGTK, such as Epiphany, to make all the necessary changes.
