Debian DLA-210-1 : qt4-x11 security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 83164

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

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.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
