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 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 39 |
# Package 1 only applies to AMD64 users. |

|
| 41 |
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" |
