The BMP decoder in QtGui in QT before 5.5 does not properly calculate the masks used to extract the color components, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero and crash) via a crafted BMP file.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.06, has qt5-qtbase packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Stack-based buffer overflow in QXmlSimpleReader in Qt 4.8.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (application crash) via a xml file with multiple nested open tags. (CVE-2016-10040)

  - Multiple buffer overflows in gui/image/qgifhandler.cpp in the QtBase module in Qt before 4.8.7 and 5.x     before 5.4.2 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) and possibly execute     arbitrary code via a crafted GIF image. (CVE-2015-1860)

  - QXmlSimpleReader in Qt before 5.2 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption) via an XML Entity Expansion (XEE) attack. (CVE-2013-4549)

  - The BMP decoder in QtGui in QT before 5.5 does not properly calculate the masks used to extract the color     components, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero and crash) via a     crafted BMP file. (CVE-2015-0295)

  - Multiple buffer overflows in gui/image/qbmphandler.cpp in the QtBase module in Qt before 4.8.7 and 5.x     before 5.4.2 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault and crash) and     possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted BMP image. (CVE-2015-1858)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

According to the versions of the qt packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An issue was discovered in Qt 5.11. A malformed PPM     image causes a division by zero and a crash in     qppmhandler.cpp.(CVE-2018-19872)

  - QXmlStream in Qt 5.x before 5.11.3 has a double-free or     corruption during parsing of a specially crafted     illegal XML document.(CVE-2018-15518)

  - The BMP decoder in QtGui in QT before 5.5 does not     properly calculate the masks used to extract the color     components, which allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (divide-by-zero and crash) via a     crafted BMP file.(CVE-2015-0295)

  - The GIF decoder in QtGui in Qt before 5.3 allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference) via invalid width and height values in a     GIF image.(CVE-2014-0190)

This security update fixes the following issues :

  - Add     libqt5-Fix-a-division-by-zero-processing-malformed-BMP.p     atch

  - QTBUG-44547, bsc#921999 (CVE-2015-0295)

  - Add     libqt5-Fixes-crash-in-bmp-and-ico-image-decoding.patch

  - bsc#927806 (CVE-2015-1858), bsc#927807 (CVE-2015-1859)

  - Add libqt5-Fixes-crash-in-gif-image-decoder.patch

  - bsc#927808 (CVE-2015-1860)

  - Add libqt5-fix-use-after-free-bug.patch from upstream

The libqt4 library was updated to fix several security and non security issues.

The following vulnerabilities were fixed :

  - bsc#921999: CVE-2015-0295: division by zero when     processing malformed BMP files

  - bsc#927806: CVE-2015-1858: segmentation fault in BMP Qt     Image Format Handling

  - bsc#927807: CVE-2015-1859: segmentation fault in ICO Qt     Image Format Handling

  - bsc#927808: CVE-2015-1860: segmentation fault in GIF Qt     Image Format Handling

The following non-secuirty issues were fixed :

  - bsc#929688: Critical Problem in Qt Network Stack

  - bsc#847880: kde/qt rendering error in qemu cirrus i586

  - Update use-freetype-default.diff to use same method as     with libqt5-qtbase package: Qt itself already does     runtime check whether subpixel rendering is available,     but only when FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING is     defined. Thus it is enough to only remove that condition

  - The -devel subpackage requires Mesa-devel, not only at     build time

  - Fixed compilation on SLE_11_SP3 by making it build     against Mesa-devel on that system

  - Replace patch l-qclipboard_fix_recursive.patch with     qtcore-4.8.5-qeventdispatcher-recursive.patch. The later     one seems to work better and really resolves the issue     in LibreOffice

  - Added kde4_qt_plugin_path.patch, so kde4 plugins are     magically found/known outside kde4 enviroment/session

  - added _constraints. building took up to 7GB of disk     space on s390x, and more than 6GB on x86_64

  - Add 3 patches for Qt bugs to make LibreOffice KDE4 file     picker work properly again :

  - Add glib-honor-ExcludeSocketNotifiers-flag.diff     (QTBUG-37380)

  - Add l-qclipboard_fix_recursive.patch (QTBUG-34614)

  - Add l-qclipboard_delay.patch (QTBUG-38585)

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2626-1 advisory.

    Wolfgang Schenk discovered that Qt incorrectly handled certain malformed GIF images. If a user or     automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted GIF image, a remote attacker could use this     issue to cause Qt to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS     and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-0190)

    Fabian Vogt discovered that Qt incorrectly handled certain malformed BMP images. If a user or automated     system were tricked into opening a specially crafted BMP image, a remote attacker could use this issue to     cause Qt to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2015-0295)

    Richard Moore and Fabian Vogt discovered that Qt incorrectly handled certain malformed BMP images. If a     user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted BMP image, a remote attacker could     use this issue to cause Qt to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2015-1858)

    Richard Moore and Fabian Vogt discovered that Qt incorrectly handled certain malformed ICO images.

This update fixes multiple security issues in the Qt library.

CVE-2013-0254

The QSharedMemory class uses weak permissions (world-readable and world-writable) for shared memory segments, which allows local users to read sensitive information or modify critical program data, as demonstrated by reading a pixmap being sent to an X server.

CVE-2015-0295 / CVE-2015-1858 / CVE-2015-1859 / CVE-2015-1860

Denial of service (via segmentation faults) through crafted images (BMP, GIF, ICO).

New qt packages are available for Slackware 14.1, and -current to fix security issues.

KDE and QT were updated to fix security issues and bugs.

The following vulerabilities were fixed :

  - CVE-2014-0190: Malformed GIF files could have crashed QT     based applications

  - CVE-2015-0295: Malformed BMP files could have crashed QT     based applications

  - CVE-2014-8600: Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS)     vulnerabilities in the KDE runtime could have allowed     remote attackers to insert arbitrary web script or HTML     via crafted URIs using one of several supported URL     schemes

  - CVE-2014-8483: A missing size check in the Blowfish ECB     could have lead to a crash of Konversation or 11 byte     information leak

  - CVE-2014-3494: The KMail POP3 kioslave accepted invalid     certifiates and allowed a man-in-the-middle (MITM)     attack

Additionally, Konversation was updated to 1.5.1 to fix bugs.

This update fixes CVE-2015-0295, a division by zero when loading some specific invalid BMP/DIB image files, which could be exploited for denial of service (application crash) attacks. The security patch is backported from Qt 4.

Richard J. Moore reports :

The builtin BMP decoder in QtGui prior to Qt 5.5 contained a bug that would lead to a division by zero when loading certain corrupt BMP files. This in turn would cause the application loading these hand crafted BMPs to crash.
