Hi, A security vulnerability fixed in WebKitGTK+ 2.12.1 has introduced a compatibility issue with applications that use HTML5 localStorage on local URIs. In particular, it broke lightdm-webkit2-greeter. We are not currently aware of any other affected software; if you know of any free software commonly included in Linux distributions that would likely be affected by this change, please let us know immediately.
Although distributions must upgrade immediately as always, consider leaving 2.12.1 in your updates-testing repository or equivalent for longer than usual. For further information and a workaround: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156651 Thanks, Michael _______________________________________________ webkit-gtk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-gtk
