Bug Description
* Impact
The update fixes memory handling issues which could potential have security implication. It was requested by the MIR team on https:/
Fedora issues an update on similar concern https:/
* Testcase
Unfortunately it's not easy to test wpebackend-fdo since the project has no tests nor demo utility. The backend is used mostly by webkitgtk but the current archive version is built without that option. It is a requirement for newer webkitgtk series though and such for incoming security update (since newer webkitgtk series are rolled out as security updates)
* Regression potential
The changes are small fixes for memory management issues but if those were wrong then it could lead to rendering issues or crashes in webkitgtk clients once webkitgtk is build with libwpe.
