Fedora 27 : qt3 (2018-0a0da2f3b7)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 110425

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This update fixes CVE-2016-10040, a stack overflow in QXmlSimpleReader due to a too lenient entityCharacterLimit in our version of the patch for CVE-2013-4549. (The limit was increased from the upstream 1024 to 65536 to address QTBUG-35459, an issue where the security fix was breaking existing real-world XML files. Unfortunately, that is too much to actually fit on the CPU stack. This fix decreases the limit to 4096.)

It also fixes the QMySql driver to work with the version of MariaDB in Fedora 27.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected qt3 package.
