referenced in the USN-4939-1 advisory.

    A large number of security issues were discovered in the WebKitGTK Web and JavaScript engines. If a user
    were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote attacker could exploit a variety of issues related
    to web browser security, including cross-site scripting attacks, denial of service attacks, and arbitrary
    code execution.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
