medium Nessus Plugin ID 83072

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities were found in Qt image format handling of BMP, ICO and GIF files. The issues exposed included denial of service and buffer overflows leading to heap corruption. It is possible the latter could be used to perform remote code execution.
