FreeBSD : qt6-base (core module) -- Invalid pointer in QStringConverter (e79cc4e2-12d7-11ef-83d8-4ccc6adda413)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 197098

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the e79cc4e2-12d7-11ef-83d8-4ccc6adda413 advisory.

- Andy Shaw reports: QStringConverter has an invalid pointer being passed as a callback which can allow modification of the stack. Qt itself is not vulnerable to remote attack however an application using QStringDecoder either directly or indirectly can be vulnerable. This requires: Qt does not automatically use any of those codecs, so this needs the application to implement something using QStringDecoder to be vulnerable. (CVE-2024-33861)

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.
