Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200703-06 (AMD64 x86 emulation Qt library: Integer overflow)

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 :
