+# This file contains a list of CVE's where resolution has proven to be impractical

+# It contains all the information we are aware of about an issue and analysis about
+# why we believe it can't be fixed/handled. Additional information is welcome through
+# patches to the file.
+#
+# Include this file in your local.conf or distro.conf to exclude these CVE's

+# The file is not included by default since users should review this data to ensure

+# Wemay also include "in-flight" information about current/ongoing CVE work with

+# The issue here is spoofing of domain names using characters from other character sets.
+# There has been much discussion amongst the epiphany and webkit developers and
+# whilst there are improvements about how domains are handled and displayed to the user
+# there is unlikely ever to be a single fix to webkit or epiphany which addresses this
+# problem. Whitelisted as there isn't any mitigation or fix or way to progress this further
