openSUSE 15.4 & 15.5 Security Advisory: webkit2gtk3 Important Update

opensuse
Calendar Grey September 25, 2023
Scroller Opensuse
This patch for webkit2gtk3 resolves various problems and security flaws. Crucial for openSUSE adopters.
This update for webkit2gtk3 fixes the following issues: Expand lang sub-package in spec file unconditionally to handle previous name change from WebKit2GTK-lang to WebKitGTK-lang

Description

This update for webkit2gtk3 fixes the following issues:

* Expand lang sub-package in spec file unconditionally to handle previous name

change from WebKit2GTK-lang to WebKitGTK-lang. This change affected the

automatic generated Requires tag on WebKit2GTK-%{_apiver}, then getting out

of sync of what's being required and what's being provided. Now, any sub-

package that was providing WebKit2GTK-%{_apiver} will provide

WebKitGTK-%{_apiver} instead (bsc#1214835, bsc#1214640, bsc#1214093).

* Require libwaylandclient0 >= 1.20. 15.4 originally had 1.19.0, but webkitgtk

uses a function added in 1.20.0, so we need to ensure that the wayland

update is pulled in (bsc#1215072).

* Update to version 2.40.5 (bsc#1213905 bsc#1213379 bsc#1213581 bsc#1215230):

CVE-2023-38594, CVE-2023-38595, CVE-2023-38597, CVE-2023-38599,

CVE-2023-38600, CVE-2023-38611, CVE-2023-40397, CVE-2023-37450,

CVE-2023-28198, CVE-2023-32370
