Vulnerable Application

This module exploits a vulnerability in WebKitFaviconDatabase when pageURL is unset. If successful, it could lead to application crash, resulting in denial of service.

The webkitFaviconDatabaseSetIconForPageURL and webkitFaviconDatabaseSetIconURLForPageURL functions in UIProcess/API/glib/WebKitFaviconDatabase.cpp in WebKit, as used in WebKitGTK+ through 2.21.3, mishandle an unset pageURL, leading to an application crash.
