DESCRIPTION:
Debian has acknowledged multiple vulnerabilities in webkit, where
some have an unknown impact and others can be exploited by malicious
people to bypass certain security restrictions, cause a DoS (Denial
of Service), and potentially compromise a user's system.

For more information:
SA40664
SA40743
SA41888
SA42109
SA42472
SA42605
SA42850
SA43193

SOLUTION:
The vendor recommends an upgrade of the webkit packages for Debian
GNU/Linux 5.0 (lenny), due to security updates being discontinued for
the current distributed version.
