No clue, sorry.

Patching just that one file is what I would do if tasked with 
backporting this fix. That said, keep in mind that only 10-20% of our 
security vulnerabilities receive CVEs, so just patching CVEs is not 
sufficient to provide a secure version of WebKitGTK. The 2.38 branch is 
no longer secure and you should try upgrading to 2.42. (I would skip 
2.40 at this point, since that branch will end next week when 2.42.0 is 
released.)
