Fedora Update Alert for webkit2gtk3, resolving memory issues and enhancing media capabilities along with security enhancements.
* Fix large memory allocation when uploading content

Summary

WebKitGTK is the port of the portable web rendering engine WebKit to the

GTK platform.

This package contains WebKit2 based WebKitGTK for GTK 3.

* Fix large memory allocation when uploading content. * Fix scrolling after a

history navigation with PSON enabled. * Always update the active uri of

WebKitFrame. * Fix several crashes and rendering issues. * Security fixes:

CVE-2023-23529 ---- * Improve GStreamer multimedia playback across the board

with improved codec selection logic, better handling of latency, and improving

frame discard to avoid audio/video desynchronization, among other fixes. *

Disable HLS media playback by default, which makes web sites use MSE instead. If

needed WEBKIT_GST_ENABLE_HLS_SUPPORT=1 can be set in the environment to enable

it back. * Disable threaded rendering in GTK4 builds by default, as it was

causing crashes. * Fix MediaSession API not showing artwork images. * Fix

MediaSession MPRIS usage when running inside a Flatpak sandbox. * Fix input

element controls to correctly scale when applying a zoom factor different than

the default. * Fix leakage of Web processes in certain situations. * Fix

several crashes and rendering issues. * Security fixes: CVE-2023-23517,

CVE-2023-23518, CVE-2022-42826, and many additional security issues
