Ubuntu 6.06 LTS / 6.10 / 7.04 : qt-x11-free vulnerability (USN-495-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 28097

Synopsis

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

Description

Several format string vulnerabilities have been discovered in Qt warning messages. By causing an application to process specially crafted input data which triggered Qt warnings, this could be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privilege of the user running the application.

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
