I posted earlier about two CVEs for one bug -- one for Safari and one for 
Chrome.  I noted that the bug was in a library and, with static 
linking, in a lot of other programs.

Well, a new, more comprehensive CVE has been released, two weeks late.

Since it is a "0-day" (i.e. already exploited in the real world), it is 
urgent that you update.  Again.  But we don't know when new versions of 
each affected program will be released.
