Description Michael Catanzaro 2018-05-31 15:02:35 PDT
Crash in WebKitFaviconDatabase when pageURL is unset... moved from https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795740.

The crash is easy to reproduce when loading https://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=371595, but it does not occur when running the same HTML locally. That's weird.

Comment 8 Michael Catanzaro 2018-06-03 07:40:13 PDT
Please note, the CVE description is:

"webkitFaviconDatabaseSetIconForPageURL and webkitFaviconDatabaseSetIconURLForPageURL in UIProcess/API/glib/WebKitFaviconDatabase.cpp in WebKit, as distributed in Safari Technology Preview Release 57, mishandle an unset pageURL, leading to an application crash."

But this code is GLib-specific. It is not built or used by Safari.

These functions are not built for WPE either, so only WebKitGTK+ is affected.

I've submitted a description update request to MITRE.
