Synopsis |
19 |
======== |
20 |
|
21 |
Multiple vulnerabilities in the AMD64 x86 emulation Qt library may lead |
22 |
to the remote execution of arbitrary code in Qt applications. |
23 |
|
24 |
Background |
25 |
========== |
26 |
|
27 |
Qt is a cross-platform GUI framework, which is used e.g. by KDE. The |
28 |
AMD64 x86 emulation Qt library packages Qt libraries for 32bit x86 |
29 |
emulation on AMD64. |
30 |
|
31 |
Affected packages |
32 |
================= |
33 |
|
34 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
35 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
36 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
37 |
1 emul-linux-x86-qtlibs < 20071114-r2 >= 20071114-r2 |
38 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |

# Package 1 only applies to AMD64 users. |

Description |
42 |
=========== |
43 |
|
44 |
The Qt versions used by the AMD64 x86 emulation Qt libraries were |
45 |
vulnerable to several flaws (GLSA 200708-16, GLSA 200710-28) |
46 |
|
47 |
Impact |
48 |
====== |
49 |
|
50 |
An attacker could trigger one of the vulnerabilities by causing a Qt |
51 |
application to parse specially crafted text or Unicode strings, which |
52 |
may lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the |
53 |
user running the application. |
54 |
|
55 |
Workaround |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
59 |
|
60 |
Resolution |
61 |
========== |
62 |
|
63 |
All AMD64 x86 emulation Qt library users should upgrade to the latest |
64 |
version: |
65 |
|
66 |
# emerge --sync |
67 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose |
68 |
">=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-qtlibs-20071114-r2" |
