CVE-2025-3155.patch Initial fix for CVE-2025-3155 from parrot409

sandbox-escape-1-no-ghelp-proc.patch Don't allow ghelp:/proc URIs
When there is something you can exploit, this kind of URI is a way
to trick people into running a malicious document. I doubt there
are any legitimate use cases. This change mitigates risk.

sandbox-escape-2-no-external-resources.patch Don't allow loading external resources from web pages
This is an attack vector for sending data places.


yelp-web-extension.c; upstream later renamed the directory to
web-process-extension. The hunk is otherwise unchanged.
