==========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 8.10
Ubuntu 9.04

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

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

Ubuntu 8.10:
  libwebkit-1.0-1                 1.0.1-2ubuntu0.2
  libwebkit-1.0-1-dbg             1.0.1-2ubuntu0.2
  libwebkit-dev                   1.0.1-2ubuntu0.2

Ubuntu 9.04:
  libwebkit-1.0-1                 1.0.1-4ubuntu0.1
  libwebkit-1.0-1-dbg             1.0.1-4ubuntu0.1
  libwebkit-dev                   1.0.1-4ubuntu0.1

After a standard system upgrade you need to restart any applications that
use WebKit, such as Epiphany-webkit and Midori, to effect the necessary
changes.

Details follow:

It was discovered that WebKit did not properly handle certain SVGPathList
data structures. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website,
an attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2009-0945)

Several flaws were discovered in the WebKit browser and JavaScript engines.
If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote attacker
could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2009-1687, CVE-2009-1690,
CVE-2009-1698, CVE-2009-1711, CVE-2009-1725)

It was discovered that WebKit did not prevent the loading of local Java
applets. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website,
an attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2009-1712)
