Ubuntu 14.04 LTS : Qt vulnerabilities (USN-2626-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 83989

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2626-1 advisory.

Wolfgang Schenk discovered that Qt incorrectly handled certain malformed GIF images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted GIF image, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause Qt to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-0190)

Fabian Vogt discovered that Qt incorrectly handled certain malformed BMP images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted BMP image, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause Qt to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2015-0295)

Richard Moore and Fabian Vogt discovered that Qt incorrectly handled certain malformed BMP images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted BMP image, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause Qt to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2015-1858)

Richard Moore and Fabian Vogt discovered that Qt incorrectly handled certain malformed ICO images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted ICO image, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause Qt to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2015-1859)

Richard Moore and Fabian Vogt discovered that Qt incorrectly handled certain malformed GIF images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted GIF image, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause Qt to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2015-1860)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
