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. If a     user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted ICO 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-2015-1859)

    Richard Moore and Fabian Vogt 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, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2015-1860)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201603-10 (QtGui: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities have been discovered in QtGui.
      It is possible for remote attackers to construct specially crafted BMP,       ICO, or GIF images that lead to buffer overflows. After successfully       overflowing the buffer the remote attacker can then cause a Denial of       Service or execute arbitrary code.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code or cause Denial       of Service.
  Workaround :

    There is no known work around at this time.

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).

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

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)

  - An issue was discovered in Qt before 5.11.3. There is     QTgaFile Uncontrolled Resource     Consumption.(CVE-2018-19871)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - Multiple buffer overflows in     plugins/imageformats/ico/qicohandler.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 ICO image.(CVE-2015-1859)

  - 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)

  - 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)

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

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.

Drop backported Qt 5.5 XCB patches, the rebase is incomplete and does not work properly with Qt 5.4

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.

Richard J. Moore reports :

Due to two recent vulnerabilities identified in the built-in image format handling code, it was decided that this area required further testing to determine if further issues remained. Fuzzing using afl-fuzz located a number of issues in the 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.
