The UNIX IPC layer in WebKit, including WebKitGTK+ prior to 2.16.3, does not properly validate message size metadata, allowing a compromised secondary process to trigger an integer overflow and subsequent buffer overflow in the UI process. This vulnerability does not affect Apple products.
Add your gear to cvedb and we'll alert you only when webkitgtk ships something exploited.
