Gentoo: GLSA-200712-08: AMD64 x86 emulation Qt library: Multiple vulnerabilities
Summary
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200712-08 https://security.gentoo.org/
Severity: Normal Title: AMD64 x86 emulation Qt library: Multiple vulnerabilities Date: December 09, 2007 Bugs: #189536 ID: 200712-08
Synopsis ======= Multiple vulnerabilities in the AMD64 x86 emulation Qt library may lead to the remote execution of arbitrary code in Qt applications.
Background ========= Qt is a cross-platform GUI framework, which is used e.g. by KDE. The AMD64 x86 emulation Qt library packages Qt libraries for 32bit x86 emulation on AMD64.
Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 emul-linux-x86-qtlibs < 20071114-r2 >= 20071114-r2 ------------------------------------------------------------------- # Package 1 only applies to AMD64 users.
========== The Qt versions used by the AMD64 x86 emulation Qt libraries were vulnerable to several flaws (GLSA 200708-16, GLSA 200710-28)
Impact ===== An attacker could trigger one of the vulnerabilities by causing a Qt application to parse specially crafted text or Unicode strings, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ========= All AMD64 x86 emulation Qt library users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-qtlibs-20071114-r2"
