Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS : Qt vulnerability (USN-7923-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 278508

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7923-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that Qt did not correctly handle certain memory operations. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
