medium Nessus Plugin ID 76615

Synopsis

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

Description

Richard J. Moore reports :

The builtin GIF decoder in QtGui prior to Qt 5.3 contained a bug that would lead to a NULL pointer dereference when loading certain hand crafted corrupt GIF files. This in turn would cause the application loading these hand crafted GIFs to crash.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
