Synopsis

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in QtGui allowing remote

attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause Denial of Service.

 

Background

==========

 

QtGui is the GUI module and platform plugins for the Qt framework

 

Affected packages

=================

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Description

===========

 

Multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities have been discovered in QtGui.

It is possible for remote attackers to construct specially crafted BMP,

ICO, or GIF images that lead to buffer overflows. After successfully

overflowing the buffer the remote attacker can then cause a Denial of

Service or execute arbitrary code.

 

Impact

======

 

A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code or cause Denial

of Service.

 

Workaround

==========

 

There is no known work around at this time.

 

Resolution

==========

 

All QtGui 4.8 users should upgrade to the latest version:

 

# emerge --sync

# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-qt/qtgui-4.8.6-r4"

 

All QtGui 5.4 users should upgrade to the latest version:

 

# emerge --sync

# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-qt/qtgui-5.4.1-r1"
