Background ========== The AMD64 x86 emulation Qt library for AMD64 emulates the x86 (32-bit) Qt library on the AMD64 (64-bit) architecture. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 emul-linux-x86-qtlibs < 10.0 >= 10.0 Description =========== An integer overflow flaw has been found in the pixmap handling of Qt, making the AMD64 x86 emulation Qt library vulnerable as well. Impact ====== By enticing a user to open a specially crafted pixmap image in an application using the AMD64 x86 emulation Qt library, a remote attacker could cause an application crash or the remote execution of arbitrary code with the rights 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-10.0" References ========== [ 1 ] GLSA 200611-02 http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/glsa/glsa-200611-02.xml [ 2 ] 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-200703-06.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. Any security concerns should be addressed to security () gentoo org or alternatively, you may file a bug at http://bugs.gentoo.org.
