This probably needs an update, maybe a major security flaw by the looks of it.

webkitgtk flawed
Re: webkitgtk flawed
Sadly, it's not possible to update webkit. Webkit 2.2.x is not updated anymore by webkit devs. Newer versions won't even compile in 14.1. Even if they did, it would mean breaking every single application that requires webkit.

Does this mean that the use of midori (version 0.3.3 in salix 13.37) is dangerous?
Re: webkitgtk flawed
Not necessarily, but I would say that using firefox which is regularly updated is a safer choice.

So this has finally hit the news.
Still no word about qtwebkitpart that comes with KDE and is used in plasma extensively, guess it's safe to assume it's not going to get fixed there either.
