QtGui: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code

QtGui: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code A buffer overflow in QtGui could result in execution of arbitrary code or Denial of Service. qt-gui 2012-06-03 2012-06-03: 1 384089 remote 4.7.4-r1 4.7.4-r1

QtGui is a module for the Qt toolkit.

An error in qtiffhandler.cpp could cause a buffer overflow.

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted TIFF image with an application linked against QtGui, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All QtGui users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-libs/qt-gui-4.7.4-r1"

Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these packages.
