Background ========== Qt is a cross-platform GUI toolkit, which is used e.g. by KDE. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 x11-libs/qt < 4.1.4-r2 >= 4.1.4-r2 *>= 3.3.6-r4 Description =========== An integer overflow flaw has been found in the pixmap handling of Qt. Impact ====== By enticing a user to open a specially crafted pixmap image in an application using Qt, e.g. Konqueror, a remote attacker could be able to cause an application crash or the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the application. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Qt 3.x users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-libs/qt-3.3.6-r4" All Qt 4.x users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-libs/qt-4.1.4-r2" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2006-4811 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4811 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200611-02.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
