CVSSv3 Rating: HIGH (8.8)

WebKit in Apple iOS before 9.3.3, Safari before 9.1.2, and tvOS before 9.2.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted web site, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-4589, CVE-2016-4623, and CVE-2016-4624.

CVSSv3 Rating: HIGH (8.8)

WebKit in Apple iOS before 9.3.3, Safari before 9.1.2, and tvOS before 9.2.2 mishandles the location variable, which '''allows remote attackers to access the local filesystem via unspecified vectors'''.

CVSSv3 Rating: Medium (5.4)

WebKit in Apple iOS before 9.3.3 and Safari before 9.1.2 mishandles about: URLs, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via a crafted web site.

I used -DENABLE_GEOLOCATION=OFF

OK, I am wondering if Geolocation services have that much of an impact on build time. I used -j4 and got 36 SBU (I don't have more than 4 cores on my development system).

Can you check if yours used the internal malloc or the system malloc? It should be in the beginning of the log.

Fixed at r17687. All users are encouraged to update IMMEDIATELY.

The WebKit Zero-day vulnerability that was used to exploit that person's iPhone (exploit costed 1 million dollars!) was patched with this release. This update fixes that Zero-day as long as 3 others.

I see why the folks at the GNOME Project were yelling at distributors on the gnome-distributors-list now.

Bruce, errata?
