From the Debian advisory:

CVE-2009-1710: WebKit allows remote attackers to spoof the browser's display of the host name, security indicators, and unspecified other UI elements via a custom cursor in conjunction with a modified CSS3 hotspot property.

CVE-2009-1697: CRLF injection vulnerability in WebKit allows remote attackers to inject HTTP headers and bypass the Same Origin Policy via a crafted HTML document, related to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks that depend on communication with arbitrary web sites on the same server through use of XMLHttpRequest without a Host header.

CVE-2009-1695: Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in WebKit allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors involving access to frame contents after completion of a page transition.
