Debian DLA-3539-1 : qt4-x11 - LTS security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 180039

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3539 advisory.

- A flaw was found in Qt. An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in QRadialFetchSimd in qt/qtbase/src/gui/painting/qdrawhelper_p.h in Qt/Qtbase. While rendering and displaying a crafted Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file this flaw may lead to an unauthorized memory access. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and the application availability. (CVE-2021-3481)

- Qt SVG in Qt 5.0.0 through 5.15.2 and 6.0.0 through 6.2.1 has an out-of-bounds write in QtPrivate::QCommonArrayOps<QPainterPath::Element>::growAppend (called from QPainterPath::addPath and QPathClipper::intersect). (CVE-2021-45930)

- In Qt before 5.15.14, 6.0.x through 6.2.x before 6.2.9, and 6.3.x through 6.5.x before 6.5.1, QtSvg QSvgFont m_unitsPerEm initialization is mishandled. (CVE-2023-32573)

- An issue was discovered in Qt before 5.15.15, 6.x before 6.2.9, and 6.3.x through 6.5.x before 6.5.1. When a SVG file with an image inside it is rendered, a QTextLayout buffer overflow can be triggered.
(CVE-2023-32763)

- An issue was discovered in Qt before 5.15.15, 6.x before 6.2.9, and 6.3.x through 6.5.x before 6.5.2.
Certificate validation for TLS does not always consider whether the root of a chain is a configured CA certificate. (CVE-2023-34410)

- In Qt before 5.15.15, 6.x before 6.2.9, and 6.3.x through 6.5.x before 6.5.2, there can be an application crash in QXmlStreamReader via a crafted XML string that triggers a situation in which a prefix is greater than a length. (CVE-2023-37369)

- An issue was discovered in Qt before 5.15.15, 6.x before 6.2.10, and 6.3.x through 6.5.x before 6.5.3.
There are infinite loops in recursive entity expansion. (CVE-2023-38197)

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

Solution

Upgrade the qt4-x11 packages.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 4
