Fedora 20 : qt3-3.3.8b-63.fc20 (2015-6573)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 83204

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This update fixes CVE-2015-1860, a buffer overflow when loading some specific invalid GIF image files, which could be exploited for denial of service (application crash) and possibly even arbitrary code execution attacks. The security patch is backported from Qt 4.

(Please note that Qt 3 is NOT vulnerable to the simultaneously published issues CVE-2015-1858 and CVE-2015-1859.)

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

Solution

Update the affected qt3 package.
