Debian DSA-1200-1 : qt-x11-free - integer overflow

medium Nessus Plugin ID 22927

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

An integer overflow has been found in the pixmap handling routines in the Qt GUI libraries. This could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code by providing a specially crafted image file and inducing the victim to view it in an application based on Qt.

Solution

Upgrade the qt-x11-free packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge), this problem has been fixed in version 3:3.3.4-3sarge1.
